"Prednisone crazies" not damaging joints | Arthritis Information

Share
 

I had an appt at my RD yesterday and asked him if I was doing any damage to my joints when I get those wonderful bursts of energy from the pred and move furniture around for a couple of hours or dig in the garden all day and then can't move for a day or two afterwards. And my feet are all swollen, etc...

He said no, probably no damage is being done.  Which is a relief!  I seem to alternate from extreme tiredness to these energy bursts, which I attribute to the pred, when I can clean house all night long. 

Think it would be better to pace myself though.

Thought I'd just pass this along...

Sula...great news!  I was wondering the same thing about overworking my joints on those good day...nice to know it's okay!!
