It may cause a flare if you stop suddenly. Best to taper
long term prednisone slowly
Did the doctors give you any numbers from your CBC
or liver function tests?
I agree the Relafen is not for your problem with renal compromise. Is their a nephrologist on your case?

@seniormed liver is fine. I do have a nephrologist I saw once for the urine tests and Ultrasound. I messaged her about the NSAID, but haven’t heard back. My PCP responded and cc’d the Rheumy saying he highly recommends I don’t take the NSAID’s but he deferred to prescribing doctor. The Rheum replied that he agrees with my PCP.
Then no contact. Has not responded to me not to take the med. honestly, I want to give up and just go to bed.
