PMR, Prednisone, one swollen ankle
Posted , 6 users are following.
I am 2+ years with PMR...on 7-1/2m of prednisone. I believe I have been on my feet too much...already have a foot problem that is usually controlled with proper footwear. Today the ankle on my sore foot swelled up. I put ice on it. Would it be alright to take 8m of prednisone tomorrow to help with the swelling? Or is the prednisone part of the problem? Thank you for any ideas.

Sometimes if all things are ruled out you must be your own advocate. My Rhumy resisted upping my Pred. He seriously asked why I hadn't dropped it. Really? This is bad I told him! He finally put me up. No more issues.

I think RICE woud be more suitable than increasing a pred dose - Rest, Elevation, Compression and Ice. If it were the PMR I think both feet would have been affected.
