I was on prednisone for 2 years for Interstitial Lung Disease, been off for 10 months and have had it replaced with mycophenolate and am also suffering with debilitating joint pain, shoulders, hands, hips, knees and heels.
My joints are not stiff but are painful all the time. Blood tests and X-rays rule out the usual causes so left with these withdrawal symptoms. Just wake up every morning hoping my body will start to recover.
Restricted on pain relief I can use because of the mycophenolate. Ibuprofen with paracetamol works but is not recommended with this drug although I take it occasionally when I need to do certain things. Perhaps this combination could work for others. I only take the maximum daily allowed dosage of paracetamol.
Tried physio but pain of completing is too much.
