I’ve never been pain free unless on a higher dose of prednisone (20 mg). I am currently on 9 mg and the pain is 6/10 in the mornings. Does anyone have a recommendation for stretching exercises and/or weight lifting? I am a female and used to do several reps of 8# weights and now can barely do 5. Ugh!

I’ve definitely had more pain as I have tapered my prednisone dose but my first month before tapering was bliss. I have to admit that the prednisone side effects have been miserable and my hip and shoulder pain are definitely present again. I am planning to make major dietary changes in the New Year that I hope will bear some fruit. Praying that 2023 is a year of remission for all of us! ❤️
