A member asked:
Can you have weakness more in one leg making it hard to walk with rheumatoid flare and still feel pain and weakness while on prednisone for a few day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: These symptoms can be from RA . The weakness can also be due to disk disease, a neck problem related to RA, a pinched nerve, as well as other causes. Make sure you let your rheumatologist know the prednisone is not helping.
