Thanks - no I am not having any locking, that's for sure.

BUT - I just read something.....stopping cortisone can cause Body aches. Has anyone heard of this or expierenced this? I have stopped taking the cortisone now, so could this be a withdrawal effect?

I'm finding the aches are not limited to my ribs....I have aches in my arms, legs, neck. Just within a few hours. They are not cramps, just aches, like as if people just punched me everywhere.
