@pah17 Yes, this is what happened to me. I had minimal neuropathy before prednisone. It seemed well controlled. Then after only a couple of months on prednisone for PMR, my neuropathy grew more and more intense, more pain, more numbness, more dead nerves. It was one of the many reasons I got off of prednisone as quick as I could. Wish I had a solution to offer you.
