Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 , Don't know if it helps any....but I wake up with all my joints hurting... Must be old age for me. lOL My hips, back, knees, ankels...even my hands and elbows hurt. I think mine is due to fibro...but who knows at this stage of the game. The weather has a lot to do with my pain. I hope you feel good as new soon. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a narcotic, but acts like one. I know that I'm not explaining it right ....maybe someone else can... It works wonders for me... I only take it when I absolutely have to.. My dr told me it would work bette if I kept a constant dose in my system, but I'd rather not... LOL It is constipating. LOl Hope I helped a little. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happens to me and if prednisone does not relieve it, I wimp out and head straight for the ultram. I'm probably not helping you much, but there is an option.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Thanks , I'm at work today and the Prednisone is obviously helping. I appreciate knowing I'm not the only one. It was very painful and I couldn't sleep, which isn't good for trying to take good care of myself! Oh well, humor is the best medicine.... Have a good day! > , Don't know if it helps any....but I wake up with all my joints > hurting... Must be old age for me. lOL My hips, back, knees, ankels...even > my hands and elbows hurt.

Run screaming into the night possibly. I'm like you-use it sparingly because of the constipation factor. However, there are times when I'd just rather deal with the constipation than the pain. People tell me I'm a pain in the butt anyway, so who cares about constipation. I just call it being anally retentive! On that pleasant thought, I will run!
