Every time I am on steroids I get stiffness and pain in my hips when I walk or stand for more than a couple mins. I am now on long term steroids and the pain is moving up my back and into my arms. Is there anything I can use to help. Paracetamol's don't touch it

Funnily enough, my bone pain is much much less when I am on steroids for my lung infections. I have osteoporosis and arthritis and get chronic bone pain quite frequently, but the steroids seem to help. I am not on long term steroids...just 10 days each time when I have an infection. Perhaps you should ask for a change of brand or something???? Good luck!

Hello for some people you get a build up of fluid which will also affect the joints I generally find it is my knees and Ankles. If I keep moving the discomfort is less, although the breathing wont always allow that. I would suggest you talk to your GP just to make sure it is nothing else. best wishes Irene

Yes I get awful joint pain I am on Puklmicort which is fine for my Lungs but my back aches my knees and hips ache too. I have Osteoarthritis but I know the steroid inhaler makes it worse. I would be interested to hear what your GP says because I too have had enough of the side effects.

My gp has decided it is not my joints but muscle weakness. Been put on tramadol with paracetamol's. It is helping
