Thanks for your input. I get the strange cramping but also the inability to articulate my joints, such as crouching down and standing back up . It's as though the message isn't getting to my muscles.. if I stay on the prednisone it's okay. Appreciate your response

I have the same pain, almost as though I ran a marathon! I’m on 10 mg of prednisone, and trying to taper to 7.5 this week. This is an unbelievable condition because most people never heard of it (as I hadn’t) and it sounds like it’s a mental thing. Until you have this. Instant pain that debilitates, you just don’t understand it. I was playing golf one year ago and now I can’t walk 100 ft!
