I was on Prednisone for three months for a bowel obstruction Of the iluem of small intestine, I didn't have to have surgery for now, I was tapered off the prednisone and I have had terrible body aches, weakness, my legs have always been strong and they feel like I have weights on them. Can this be a side effect of being on the prednisone? I started out on 40mg a day for five weeks,then 20mg for a few weeks, to 10mg every other day. I am so tired of feeling tired. When I first got out of the hospital on the higher dosage I had so much energy and I felt good, the moment that the dosage was reduced I started going down hill. I have been more depressed but I think it's because I feel so bad.
