Can prednisone cause pain in hips legs and lower back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Prednisone is much more likely to relieve these pains, though anything is possible. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory and usually reduces musculoskeletal pain. Please consult your doctor. James dillard, md.
