Prednisone cut off the blood supply to my femurs, and they died. Now I am getting total hip replacements at 40 yrs old. Prednisone ruined my life , STAY AWAY FROM IT IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, if you can't make sure you take as low a dosage as possible.

I have experienced, avascular necrosis of both hips (resulting in total hip replacements) and avn of both solder (this time it resulted in partial shoulder replacements) Not to mention as everyone else has the thin skin, the weight gain. I have been on prednisone for 8 years - it is part of my immune suppressant cocktail that I take everyday. I have been on 4mg for approximately 5 years. It's very hard to lose the extra weight, the moon face lessens after a time but it is hard to tell because of the weight gain.
