I have been off and on predisone for the past year, mostly on. The dr's started weining me off over the last 2 months. Well to make a long story short, after 2 weeks off, I had to go back on it. Walking became so painful and the pain in my right arm almost brought me to tears. My question is, will the swelling always be there? As I said before it has been a year and my right side is still numb. (no improvement) as far a the numbness goes.

Thanks for your feedback.
