Severe leg cramps and burning feeling in the front of both legs
Posted , 12 users are following.
Last night I was in agony nearly the whole night with severe cramps in both my legs and toes.
For a few days I have been suffering a sort of burning feeling down the front of both my legs from the knee down
I'm now on 20mg pred and trying to reduce.
I'm totally exhausted most of the time.

Hello. I have suffered from night cramp for years but since starting on Pred last September it has been much worse I get cramp every night sometimes over and over again in my feet, toes, legs , I have tried magnesium tablets, bathing in Epsom salts, having a large glass of tonic water and a banana at bedtime, and exercising my muscles in my leg, nothing has worked . Please keep us updated on how you get on with your doctor. Good luck 😀

Thank you Jenny-rose for your feedback..
This morning I'm going to my GP , so I'll let the group know what she says...
I'm still reducing prednisone very slowly and have reached 19mg ...
I feel a heavy feeling in my upper arms. Like my arms are a lead weight. It's not an actual pain, just very uncomfortable.
Such a debilitating disease...
Keep well.
Di

No - really almost all side effects can be managed when you know how. And GPs who suggest they can't are a bit lazy!
