It is a side effect of pred and yes, it does happen quite often. It is one you need to report to the doctor so it is good you are going to see him on Monday.

I suffered what I thought was 'numb' feet and when I visited the GP told him. Turned out they were not 'numb' just very cold. After that each time I went to visit the surgery, either Nurse, GP and the Podiatrist, they automatically tested the pulse in the ankle area. Hope it turns out it is same for you.

As PMRpro has said, this is one you must tell your medics about.
