Prednisone is like running UP a DOWN staircase

This might be a silly question but my thighs hurt to the touch. It hurts while pulling up my pants or putting pressure on them. My rheumatologist says it is my back causing that pain. I'm taking 6 mg of prednisone, and for the most part, I feel ok. Could it really be my back causing this pain?

No question is silly. We all contribute something here, and questions is the means by which we learn. Having said that, I don't know the answer, but I look forward to the comments. 😉

I am just recently off prednisone after 2 years but as the dose got under 5mg I had a lot of pain in my thighs and my knees hasn't really resolved so am going to a musculoskeletal physician but I am aware my thigh muscles have gotten very weak while on prednisone so I am walking short distances often and doing a squat exercise and hoping it eventually resolves. Prednisone ended up giving me more problems than PMR !! This is a great site for keeping you sane about what you experience with prednisone
