Has anyone else has severe knee and leg pain whilst on prednisone? Im on 25mg daily and I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night with severe leg pain and I'm not sure why its happening! Any tips or advice is much appreciated ☺️

Let your doctor know you may need a med adjustment. Is prednisone all you take? Also magnesium may help. I also have been know to get up & take an Epson salt bath to help when this happens. 😘

Give time the rituximab will help. Glad to see you are taking Plaquenil. I do 200 mg daily Plaquenil and every other day 400mg Plaquenil to = 300 mg daily. I also do methotrexate injections. And muscle relaxants and Tylenol as needed. I have recently added the magnesium to try to help with this problem.
