Symptoms after you stop prednisone

Hi! I was on prednisone for one year and two months and have been off prednisone for one week. I am also on Kevzara. A couple of days ago my feet started burning and my fingers are swelling. Could this be the adrenaline sufficiency? I expected being tired, but sure didn’t expect my feet to burn so bad. Has anyone else had this experience? Does the adrenals have any influence on the nerves thanks! I have a doctors appointment next week.

It is very complicated and I don't understand it all. However, cortisol has an effect on neurotransmitters throughout the body.

Sometimes I think it would be easier to list what body systems are NOT influenced by cortisol. I think the list would be short.

"Cortisol is an essential steroid hormone that affects nearly every organ and tissue in the body, primarily by regulating the body's response to stress."
