My skin seems very thin since starting prednisone. I’m currently on 5 mg I was on four but the pain was too much now. I take Tylenol every morning. I’m also on methotrexate 20 mg once a week. I’m very stiff in the hip area and sore around my neck but once I take the Tylenol. I’m able to try and play pickle ball and move around in the day

What dose of prednisone did you start at before weaning down?

When you say thin skin...does that mean you bruise very easily? I'm at 10mg now slowly tapering from 20mg and my arms are mess, very bruised, the slightest bump causes a bruise.
