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.
