hi i took the right route to weaning off of preds via a endocrinologist. He gave me instructions throughout and checked adrenal function and all good. my last tablet was 4weeks ago. for the last 3 weeks i have suffered from terrible back/hip pain plus weakness in my legs. i ache in bed, i struggle getting out of it and don't have much strength in my legs at all. once i'm up and moving it settles down but then i struggle again to get up from the chair. i read this can happen but wondered if anyone else has had this problem and if it eventually goes away.
