Any side effects after going off prednisone slowly?

My hip pain has come back, and I have some difficulty with walking and climbing stairs. Also, left hand has been somewhat stiff and achy. I have found, in all this, that coffee helps( also prayers), and trying to keep active. Seeing rheumatologist tomorrow. I’ve been off prednisone for 3,weeks…

Sorry to hear that. I'm 3 months off prednisone and still have all of what you describe with hip, walking and stairs. Even my hand feel stiff and achy. I see this especially after I've been sitting for a while. It's not serious pain but does interfere with mobility. My rheumatologist last week said this was not PMR but the after effects of long term prednisone. A blessing a d a curse. I find light exercise and stretching helps. And prayers, too. Good luck with your rheumatologist
