Your doctor should be aware that any bone loss due to corticosteroids is reversible. It is of the utmost importance to keep the inflammation under control.
"Do bones recover after prednisone?
Loss of bone mineral density occurs rapidly but can be reversed. Bone loss appears to be greatest in the first two to three months of corticosteroid use.".
It seems I just parroted what emo posted.

Is steroid-related bone loss reversible? I haven't run into this, other than a small study involving patients under 45. Most of us with PMR are considerably older.
