Guest guest Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Ed, So I am not the only who became arthritic while tapering pred. I am tapering soooo slowly but I have loads of stiffness in my fingers and chronic back pain. A bit of swelling although nothing significant. My docs can't seem to explain it since there are no changes on xray. I take celebrex for the pain but I am taking a break from it to let my stomach rest (massive GERD etc...). Without celebrex I wake up feeling like I am 90! (I am only 28!). What do you do that helps with it? Anything? How slow was your taper? ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals..ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
