Terrible Back Pain
Posted on 05/02/09, 04:14 pm
Hello,
Well, I'm tapering Prednisone ... oh goody, lol. I tapered from 9.5 to 9 on Tuesday and today I have terrible upper back pain, shoulders and down arms.
I am on really strong pain killers and muscle relaxant and they aren't helping. I also had hubby rub Sore No More on me, which helped somewhat.
I called pain doc's answering service and they called back and said doc recommended going back up on Prednisone or going to ER. I don't want to do either! LOL!
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

This group is for the many of us that are on Prednisone and hate it! Yes, it heals what ails us, but it also creates another batch of problems!
