Could this be related to Prednisone Taper

[Middlesista]

GPA - Finished 4th Rituxin before Christmas. Started on 60 mg prednisone in addition to IV solumedrol doses in hospital. Involvement optic nerve and lung. I never really had a lot of pain other than wicked headache with vision loss and optic nerve issue-but no real joint pain.


I am currently titrating prednisone - going down by 2.5mg each week and I am noting occ joint pain and am wondering if this might be related to prednisone taper since I did have this before-it is bearable and no redness to speak of. I mentioned it to RA and that is why I am titrating by the2.5mg rather than the 5mg that we had initially talked about. Wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar?
