I too was scheduled for a hip replacement last September but since I was on Prednisone (20mg) my surgeon did not want to proceed because of the increased risk of infection. Thankfully my hip is not causing me too much pain, probably because of the Prednisone so I was ok with not doing it.
I’ve just started Kevzara and will hopefully be able to taper down more quickly. I’m currently on 10 mg and able to do most things with relatively little pain.
