A member asked:

Have sle. rheu put me on celebrx. pain subsided. now reoccured in r leg only &gettin worse. doc added steroid for two weeks. any other advices?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not enough info: Where in the leg is the pain? What are the characteristics of the pain etc, etc? What does the exam show? Without specifics, no advice can be given other than to see if the Prednisone works and discuss with your doctor.
