What can i do to stop joint pain as a side effect from prednisone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to know what: We need to know what type of joint pain. To some this will be counter intuitive as prednisone can help some types of joint pain. We need to know what type of health problem you are are taking prednisone for. Is the pain you have joint, or muscle? What other medical issues do you have? Your physicians will help you clarify these issues.
