I have been on prednisone 4 years and at 6 mgs. Did you legs get weak from it. I am now walking with a cane. I too have osteoarthritis and will not take those meds they want to give me. I have enough issues already.
I will look up you toe exercises. I do try things like that but my legs are very weak.
Good luck, and thx 🤗

@sharon44r I have PMR and GCA as well as OA in my knees and shoulders. I get hyaluronic acid (the Jell advertised on TV) injections in my knees twice a year. Medicare covers this. I also get them in my shoulders as needed - 8-10 months apart. The shoulder injections are private pay because the US is the only country in the world that the hyaluronic acid is not approved for shoulders. Those are pricy but it avoids prednisone injections which insurance will cover.
