Joint pain and prednisone

by Martix, Jul 01, 2008 04:12PM

I've been slowly coming off of prednisoe for the past couple months and my joint pain has returned. I get blood drawn tomorrow but I was wondering how common if it is common to get joint pain when coming off of the prednisone? I'm not too worried. I was just wondering.

When I came off it, my joint pain returned and my rheumy said that was normal and was 'probably' a side effect from the withdrawl. He said it should go away a few weeks after being totally off the pred. I hope this is true for you.

The issue for me is that I have had this joint pain before the AIH dx. I have been off of prednizone for 4 - 6 months and it is still a problem. I am on AZA and hate it.
Don't care for any of these medications, i.e. predn, aza, imuran, etc. Does anyone have any answers as to the reason for the arthritic pains in morning? ANy help would be appreciated.
