What could cause widespread bone/joint and muscle aches not relieved by 20mg prednisone or 500mg naproxen? not arthritis ana 1:320 dna neg
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That is not a high: dose of prednisone or naproxen. You'll need to discuss this with your doctor with your history of thyroid cancer, and thyroidectomy. It may affect your muscles, and bone and your Vitamin D3 levels and other lab values not mentioned may be more important to determine systemic causes.
