I know someone who was on prednisone(4pills daily) for psoriatic arthritis flare.stepped herself down&now is off&intremendous pain.could itbwithdrawal?

No: More likely the psoriatic arthritis flared. Prednisone withdrawal syndrome is the uncovering of joint pains that one never noticed before taking steroids. That is rarely the case with psoriatic arthritis. Also, Prednisone is not an addictive substance.
