Joint problems started when down to 7mg and 6mgs.

I was doing so well for a while, but knees, ankles, 1 elbow and now both hips have started giving way on me. It starts with a short, sharp, bone on bone type pain, followed by joint not working properly. It isn't arthritis. Rheumy thinks it may be a very long technical term I have forgotten, which means adrenals having a hiccup and muscles not kicking into action, immediately. Not sure yet if this is pmr/pred related or if I am deteriorating with something else. Has anyone else suffered from similar problems?

My wife is in her late 70s . a couple of years ago her knee pain was such that she could not stand. In hospital she had xrays and scans of both knees. Nothing was detected, the only other test was an arthroscope that could not be done at the time. So home we went in a wheel chair. A friend said i had some thing similar, it turned out to be arthritis crystals growing in the joints. His (and others) fix was to massage the knees with "Elmore" oil ,( a blend of Teatree , Eucalyptus, Vanilla and Olive oil )I massaged her knees morning and night, after a week things started to improve, two weeks later she is walking about with no pain whatsoever, and has been pain free ever since, with the occasional massage with the oil to keep things at bay. Of course it all depends on what your problem is,but this has cured (or kept at bay) a lot of pain of people that i have spoke to about sore knees. If the joint is damaged there is not much you can do............ Just a thought...................
