sore knees

[Psyborg]

I am the other way, seems like my knees are the first place I get pain. Like DRZ said, I get a few days of knee pain every time I taper. Weird how variable the symptoms can be for us

And I think your private mailbox is full.

Yep, full. Fixed it. Thanks

I have had SOME knee-pain on and off, but lately it doesn't bother me anymore.
I can understand you hesitating to take action and maybe being medicated again...
Hope your pain will soon be gone, delorisdoe!

I have been trying to stay at 5mg of pred but my knee, ankle, fingers and toes hurt so bad, especially at night when I try to turn over or move. Oh and in the daytime when I try to walk without my scooter.

Knee joint. Pain was one of my firrst symtoms and at the hospital the only thing that helped was toradol. Hope this helps.

I am finally down to 3 1/2 mg of prednisone, but I had mini flare in the past sinuses and had to bump it up to 20 and start the taper all over again. take your time Light warrior and if this joint pain continues, need to call the doc.

on a good note...everything but my knees hurt this week.

I haven't been on the forum for some time and I would say it was fate that brought me here today.
I've been suffering too lately from knee pain but just contributed to the fact of this extra weight I carry around. Mine too bothers me the most at night and I have to take an extra hydrocodone to get through the night. Another weird spot is the top of my right foot and my lower back. I've been neglecting taking care of me as I should and need to be more careful I know. My 86 yr old mom has had to recently be placed in a personal care home and I have had to take care of her. It has been really tough especially because her mind is still sharp but her body is weak and she suffered a stroke in July. I want to keep her with me at my home but I don't have anyone to help me and I know I couldn't do it myself. The other day I saw a new saying:
Be kinder than necessary for everyone is fighting some kind of battle.
I wish all my weggie friends the best and better health for all of us.

Terri, make sure its not your kidneys. That can cause lower back pain. Need to mentions these pain to your Rhuemy if you haven't yet.
