Guest guest Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 I've had a diagnosis of PA for 3 years, 3 months. My former rheumatologist had me on 10 mg of Prednisone a day for 3 years, supplemented periodically with additional 5 mg. dosages and Cortisone Injections. In February of this year on the instruction of my new Rheumatologist, I tapered off prednisone. Since that taper, and being off Prednisone I have developed terrible aches and stiffness from my low back down as well as increased exhaustion. I was told by my new rheumatologist, as well as a physical therapist that these symptoms are from Prednisone Withdrawal. Can anyone tell me how long this will last?? Is there anything that can be done for it? Is the physical therapy likely to help? Thanks, Ann in Central Florida --------------------------------- New Messenger with Voice.
