prednisone joint pain

It took 3 months to diagonised and had severe joint pain the entire time. She took the prednisone for about 6 weeks. Her joint pain went away and blood work came back normal. SHe gained alot of weight during the short period so refuses to take it. Her blood work is normal but has mild joint pain everyday and extremely severe about once a week. The GI doctor also says she cant take the prednisone so much because of her age.Can anyone give us some suggestions?

I had horrible joint pain prior to tx. in all the same places you did,but once starting tx all pain went away. I experienced a horrible resurgence of pain 1 mth post tx.and i just figured i had relapsed, but that was not the case. I txd 96 wks i i feel it had something to do with stopping tx suddenly after being on pegasys for so long without a break. The pain went away 3rd mth post tx. and has never returned. 17mth svr now.

I have chronic osteoarthritis through my whole body including my spine, plus other bone abnormalities. I have had chronic pain since I was 12 (18 yrs ago). Doctors have never taken my pain seriously until recently when I was properly diagnosed. I am now on Endep, Lyrica and Gabapentin which together helps with all my nerve pain. But even strong pain killers didn't help with my joint and back inflammation.

Hi, I was recently (2 weeks ago) diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Actually, I still have some more tests to go, but my doc says he's fairly sure it's Crohn's and not ulcerative colitis. Anyway, I started prednisone right away and the major symptoms stopped in less than a week. But I have lots of joint and bone pain, including a pretty severe case of TMJ.

Ok Yall I am having really bad joint, leg and back pain and I very well could be freaking myself out but could it be a reaction to the prednisone? I am also on 50 mgs isnt that a lot???

Recently he started having a lot of joint pain. Now his ankles and feet are swelling. His sugar levels are doing great. We have been to the doctor and he has had several test done. Everything is coming back good. Has anyone had these same symptoms? He is taking Metformin and I am wondering if this has anything to do with this.

Thank you Chrise.... I did go into a Rhuematologist and my tests came back RA. I go again on Friday to go over all the tests. This has been affecting my work and I am so scared about loosing my job. Thank you for responding to my post.

I have been having a lot of pain in my legs, back, hands and arms. Ibprofen and other things don't seem to help it. I do not know how to make if feel better. Some of it is in the muscles that are extremely tight and others seem like joint pain. Just wondering. My doctors won't prescribe anything else. I have tried Lyrica and a bunch of arthritis meds. Again I am undiagnosed so they are also trying to figure out what I have.

I am taking high dosage of prednisone so now I can at least move but the swelling and pain lasted over a week. this is all so scary. Any ideas or comments about what I have?

how is you appatite are you fatigued or is it just the joint pain, have you been bitten by anything recently any unusual happenings.

It did happen originally but a course of prednisone steroids took all the pain away. They will not give this to me again due to the harshness of it and potential side effects. Anyone else had this severe pain and if so what did they do or take. I am taking supplements to help. Many thanks.

Hi all. This place sure looks different from the last time I was here... I was wondering if any of you had had the opportunity to have your blood levels of vitamin d tested, and if so how many of you were deficient? I ask because I sort of took myself off the cellcept I was on and only continued with 5 mg of prednisone for almost a year. Of course I progressively felt worse until I went back to my primary and asked for a refferal to a different GI doc.

Muscle/joint pain and weakness is a known side effect of prednisone (methylprednisolone), however it is one that should be reported to your doctor. They would be the ones to make the determination whether you should continue on the medication or if you need to stop taking it. Best of luck and please let me know what you find out.

i have been suffering from joint pain for over a year now. i get that in my whole arms and legs, its like a constant throbing pain and it never goes away unless i take pain relief. i have seen an rheumatologist and she said she could not find anything, i also have had a bone scan and nothing has come up. the rheumatologist said that my vitamin D was low and i need vitamin D injection an that might help. apart from that they dont know what is causing it.

Hi. I have autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) for which I am now on Imuran (azathioprine) after unsuccessfully eradicating it with several tries on prednisone. Although Imuran is often used to treat AIH, it's only a last resort with AIP as there is no data as yet proving it effective with AIP. I have however on this site heard from other AIP patients who have done well on Imuran and my gastroenterologist agreed that under the circumstances it was worth a try.

I currently have " Undiagnosed Joint Pain". I am seeing a doctor and am in the midst or working through blood tests and what not, to determine the cause of my joint pain. From the way things are looking, She indicated I probably have Rheumetoid Arthritis. In the meantime, until a diagnosis is confirmed I have tried a few different medications to help me get through the day. Yet, none of them are helping... I have tried Prednisone, which was terrible and made me feel a lot worse.

He was eventually diagnosed with drug induced hepatitis after a liver biopsy. After 4 months on prednisone he is finally off of it but is still experiencing some joint pain. What has been your experience?

You could try other things but I imagine they would only help with the pain and not necessarily the joint degeneration. With the drugs they can halt or slow down joint and organ damage.

When I was 36, I was told that I had DDD, Lumbar stenosis, & disc space narrowing, protrusion on S1 nerve root. I had my back fused in 2000 when I was 38 on the L5-S1. It relieved a lot of pain & only had issues a few times a year. In 2008, I started having more pain, longer durations & issues that I had never had in past before fusion. Family doc put me on prednisone off & on & it did help at least 70%.

I resently injured my low back cycling and after the low back pain went away I ended up with pain on my right SI joint and sciatica in my lower leg. It's been almost 2 weeks and since then I've had a chiropractic adjustment and a course of Prednisone. I'm still in pain and unable to run or cycle. Walking is difficult. My doctor thinks my glute and piriformis muscles are overly tight and clamping down on my sciatic nerve, but no amount of stretches or muscle relaxers help.

s a general purpose inflammation reducer used in a wide variety of diseases. It can be injected directly into a joint to ease pain and swelling, given in an intramuscular injection or taken orally to quiet an overall RA flare-up, inhaled to help asthma and COPD patients breathe better, and more. My mom takes injections in her lower back to temporarily ease pain. My guess is you have a low back injury that is irritating the sciatic nerve, which travels down the back of your hip and down your leg.

All over joint pain and stiffness, blurry eyes, weakness in muscles and extreme fatigue. Dr put me on 5mg of prednisone and I felt better for about 4 days and then the pain returned. He didn't refill the prednisone script (wanted to see all test results to be sure - thinks I might have adrenal insufficiency) but now I've gone completely back down hill.

during treatment i felt like my liver was getting worse stomach pain and then came the joint aches, fatigue, brain fog, etc. i was svr at 3,6,and 13months. 1 month post treat i developed terrible itch, joint ache, and fatigue were still with me and then came the vitiligo, my skin darkened and white puzzle like spots started fading in. my labs showed my liver enzymes were still elevated up to 12 months post.
