Guest guest Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hi All... I have been quiet and busy for a while with the pregnancy...my Rheumy has been tapering me off Prednisone throughout my pregnancy....starting from 20 mg.....down to 4 mg presently. When I went from 6 to 5 I started to notice shoulder aches and stiffness but no major pains or flares....my doc was not concerned because I had no hand or foot involvement....but just last week I went from 5 mg to 4 and just last night had a horrible flare in my shoulder...burning/shooting pain and I could not move my shoulder.....but still no hand or foot involvement. I can't reach him until tomorrow....should I start taking 5 mg again or wait and speak with him to ask what to do....I am thinking he may take me back up to 10 mg to try to " wipe it out " but I really don't want to have to do this....any thoughts on this??? - B.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
