Could you be more specific about how muscles and joints were compromised by prednisone. I ask this questions since I have been on and off prednisone for 35 years due to PMR. I am currently taking Kevzara and reducing my prednisone.

I have taken two hard falls in two months. I don't seem to have the muscles / strength to keep me from falling. I walk with a cane now. I play golf, walk on treadmill, went to PT.....cannot do steps without pulling myself up. The rheumatologist, GP and PT therapist all told me that PMR and prednisone will compromise muscles/joints. To what extent? no one knows.
