@jearanai13 it sounds like you have been dealing with this inflammation and pain for 3 months except when taking prednisone. Is there a reason why the doctor had you stop prednisone? I know prednisone can be hard on the body, but it can make such a difference. After 4 years, I’m just now coming off of prednisone. The doctor replaced it with a ‘steroid replacing’ drug that has the same positive benefits as prednisone but none of the bad effects.
What is your treatment plan?

The doctor said prednisone is not good for long term health. I also couldn’t sleep much with prednisone. What’s the medication that you use to replace prednisone with no bad effects?
