(When the prednisonse was ineffective, he prescribed a non-quinolone antibiotic, the headaches went away a few days after). The prednisonse was a 21 day taper. Towards the end of the 21 days, my
joint pain got much worse. The pain in my elbows, forearms, and shoulders intensified. Also, I started getting pain in both legs: in the achilles tendons, knees, and the hamstring tendons (along the back of my knees).
At this point, I decided it was time to see an Orthopedist.
