my hands were so sore i had no grip. 3mgs you might get off. going to take some dealing with pain. it can last a few weeks or months. But it does get better if your body slowly tries to restart.

Thanks for your reply. Strangely, the hand pain and tightness do seem to lighten up in the afternoon, which occurs with my overall body pain. Don't know if it's because I take my Prednisone in the morning and it takes that long to kick in!
