How long do withdrawals from prednisolone last?i was on ,30mg everyday for a week. i quit cold turkey about 6 weeks ago but still in pain.

Never just"quit": Long term steroid therapy is must successful with a gradual taper over 6-14 days depending on dose and length of time taking prednisolone- an anti inflammatory medication.Quitting cold turkey is not a great idea- time to consult the prescribing physician.
