How long do I wait before asking my doctor about prednisone-related joint pain?
Question by Lily J: How long do I wait before asking my doctor about prednisone-related joint pain?
I have been on prednisone for 9 days for an allergic reaction to an antibiotic. I have three more days at the lowest dose (10 mg). Today I have been experiencing increasing joing pain in my hands, wrists, and fingers. I don’t want to overreact — is this normal? Will it get better in a day or two, or do I need to contact my doctor now? Everything I’ve read about joint pain has to do with long-term prednisone usage, not a short course like mine.

Any reaction to a medication is worth immediately telling your doctor. He’ll tell you if it’s serious or not. Call first, ask by phone, then go in if necessary.
