I've just finished a weeks course of steroids now my body feels like a used punchbag, is that normal, they were for swollen joints?

Steroids: Sounds like you've come down from the mood elevation/ anti-inflammation of the steroids.

Yes, but...: This is a normal reaction to the end of a steroid course, but the question is do you now have a plan for a next medication? Call your doctor!
