In Pain After 1 Dose

Posted over a year ago

Went into the ER for some breathing problems and they made me take 60mg of Prednisone there then sent me home with a scrip. Within 2 hours of leaving the hospital, I started sweating horribly, which is very abnormal, and Istarted having severe muscle pain in my hips and legs. I called the ER and the doc there says that it is unlikely it's the medication but I argued that because I had no muscle pain before. Of course I am not getting the scrip filled but I am wondering how long this pain is going to last? This happened yesterday afternoon and I am still in horrible pain today!

Keswanis - I was on 60 mg Prednisolon several years ago. I had similar problems from the first dose. Muscle pain, muscle weakness, headache, trembles, insomnia. The Doc said it was NOT due to steroids. These were supposed to help. He had not come across patients with such side effects. He claimed it was psychological. I was so sure it was due to Predisolon and found a doc to help wean me off the steroids. It took months and I was in pain and total muscle weakness. After months I recovered. I am presently on 10 mg Pred and have the same problem from day one. Conclusion: the side effects of Pred which occur in normal persons after about 3 months start on me immediately. Perhaps I am hypersensitive to steroids. The following link will give you a good indication of the side effects. [link removed]

Ashlie - I got a dose pack that was like 22 pills to take over 5 days (8 the first day, then 6 and so on down to one on the last day). I was given this for a sinus infection and bronchitis. No one told me there were any side effects not even when the pharmacist asked me if I'd ever taken it before and I said no. Well 5 days later and my belly is swollen like a balloon and it hurts like hell - I can't even touch it. On top of that I have terrible chest and back pain and my legs are swollen and have weird shooting pains, my stomach feels like a mixture of hunger and bad heartburn constantly. Basically I'm in pain all over and the worst part is that my sinus pressure is still there and my cough has not improved either!!! I'm getting married in 3 months and have been working hard and lost 10 pounds over the last month, and now I feel like I've gained it all back plus some in 5 days!! How can this be? I am so angry!!! I can't take off work either without sacrificing vacation time for my honeymoon. It's miserable!!!!
