GET OFF THE PREDISONE. I have been hospitalized. With 2 compression fractures L4 & L5 for two weeks then st home for months with homecare because i couldnt move. Then a year later L3 compression fracture. All because predisone weakoned my bones and the collapssed. I then had kyphoplasty on L3 which was fantastastic and has helped considerably.

Hello @tova,
I'd like to subtly remind of the Community Guidelines. In particular,
1. Share your story, not medical advice.
- Share your own experiences. But do not tell others what they should do.
- Experience does not replace professional medical advice. It does not replace a diagnosis. It does not replace treatment. See the full Disclaimer.
- Do not ignore professional medical advice. Do not delay seeking medical advice.
Stopping medications abruptly can have side effects that sometimes can be dangerous. It is always best to discuss with your providers if you are experiencing any side effects or if you'd like to seek an alternative treatment or stop a treatment so that a proper tapering can be safely decided on with your provider.
