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 know that joint pain is a side effect of taxol, however, could this have caused the knee and back pain that i have been experiencing for the last four and a half years? I needed to be pre-medicated with benadryl and prednisone due to a reaction i had shortly after my first taxitier treatment. Does my body reacting adversely to the chemo in the first place cause more severe side effects? I'm curious to know because i have had lumbar pain and knee pain ever since my chemotherapy.
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.
But after 3 or 4 years, i had horrible pain in my hips. and when i consulted a bone speciliest, he said that cartilage in my hip joint is woren out, and there are symptoms of artharities, bone is getting woren out due to bone rubbing against each other, due to some steroid or some drug, So can Predesolone acetate be the cause for it.

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 also diabetic @ bood sugars are higher than usual is this a side effect of prednisone,have 3 more days on prednisone should I stop?
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.

Excess sweating,Bp changes,heart beat changes, rigid muscles confusion,fever,breathing changes......says if have any of these to call needs treatment in hospital......is this thing I'm going thru nms?
I do believe there is strong evidence that prednisone can "wake up" Hep C. Not sure if there has been studies on this but I remember reading something about it. Personally I think it woke up my HCV. I was prescribed it for poison ivy. Never felt right after I stopped it and about a year later finally diagnosed with HCV. I would be really scared to ever take it again.
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,
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.
It appears that syphilis treatment is followed by what is called Herxheimer reaction (chills, joint pain, body ache, fever, headache, myalgia (muscle pain), and exacerbation of skin lesions). [source Wiki) My Doc. did not warm me about the reaction when I asked about side effects. After experiencing those reaction, I called the hospital and the Doc I talked said this is a common reaction to syphilis treatment.
Are the only 2 prescription drugs you are on klonopin and meloxicam?
Have you ever had any sensitivity or side effects from any other NSAID?
I have recently done quite a bit of research on meloxicam for myself. Because it takes up to 2 weeks for your blood plasma levels to even reach a beneficial amount of meloxicam, I'm gonna "guess" that it's the reduction in klonopin (or some other med you may be reacting to.
My husband has been on and off high doses of Prednisone for the last year, and side effects are devastating, including the thinning of his skin---and lesions caused by cuts and scratches that he isn't even aware have happened, will his skin (on his arms mostly) return to normal at some point? will all of the bloating in his face and belly disappear at some point? All opinions accepted.....doctors refuse to admit his skin damage is due to Prednisone, but I have no doubt WHATSOEVER.
Why not call the pharmacy (and look on the sheets that came with the meds) to see if back pain is a side-effect of one of your medications. Are you drinking enough water? That is very important and could cause cramping (yes, even back cramping).
Now, the other option is this could be pregnancy-related. If the pain comes and goes periodically like a contraction would and you experience 4 or more of these per hour, then you need to call your doctor or go to L&D.
When I first started taking Wellbutrin, I felt scared for about two weeks, of things I never had been before, like getting in a car crash or a home invasion happening. I had little appetite and maybe felt a bit speedy, but no joint pain or tremors. Considering one possible side effect of Wellbutrin is seizure, I'd stop taking them. Wellbutrin worked amazingly well for me, but it's not for everybody. Unless a doctor says that's normal, don't take one more!
Regarding the use of Gabapentin, you are regularly using since last September and had you suffered similar pains any time in the course of taking the drug? Although it has side effects as any other medicine, joint pain is not among the common or usual ones. You need to consult your attending doctor who had prescribed Gabapentin and update him of the possibility of the joint pains due to taking the drug. Are you been regularly followed up for your thigh pain? How is the pain presently?
