Maybe I'm crazy, but I am on a lose dose of prednisone for about ten days to (hopefully) get some relief for the pain in my right hip and knew , which started 2 months after my laminectomy (L4-L5).
I seemed to do quite well quickly but suddenly I can barely walk,,it gets better as the day goes on..but the first half of the day is torture.
I saw my back surgeon a few days ago, x-rays are ok, so he prescribed the prednisone... I haven't really had any relief yet (I'm on day 3).
AND!? I have developed 'floaters in my high eye that are making me crazy! I am always swatting at non-existent bugs or sweeping wha seems like a loose hair away from my eye!
What the heck is any of this all about?

Thanks!

Floaters can be harmless or a sign of a serious problem. My ophthalmologist is amazed how well I can describe my floaters. I have a long history of uveitis flares so I'm aware of nearly every type of visual disturbance.
