Wrist and finger pain while tapering prednisone

Hi Terry; I feel your pain. Could not even press the button on my can of shaving cream while having the flare. I had to go back on prednisone after 5 weeks off entirely. Now at 15mg and will go to 10 next week. Had my first injection of Kevzara this morning and hopefully as the Kevzara starts taking hold I will be able to quit prednisone entirely. Try Volteren for your hands and wrists, it gave me relief.
Good luck; John

I'd love to hear updates on the Kezara ! I know there are several other threads about taking biologicals . I have one question for you if you don't mind - is your insurance covering the cost ? I am trying to decide if I should change my Medicare Part D to cover higher tier drug for next year ! : )
