I was recently taken off prednisone about a week ago and I decreased my dose as told by my doctor. For about 4 days I've had major swelling of the ankles, feet, stomach and face. I went to the Dr. and he gave me a fluid pill. I have not been able to decrease my swelling at all. At the same time I've had this mystery pain in my back on my right side about mid to upper back. I almost want to go to the ER just to get this situation resolved. It seems a little high for it to be the kidneys but its weird that its all happening at the same time. I've been trying to drink more fluids as everyone tells me but it seems that I'm not releasing all that I'm drinking. I was put on the prednisone for Fibromyalgia. I am on quite a few other medcines now but none of them have changed besides being taken off the predisone.
