Feet numbness

[Shandon1]

I have reduced my prednisalone to 2mg but I am getting severe feet numbness. Is there a connection?

Unlikely since you have reduced the dose. However, it may be something else and there are other patients on the forums who have developed neuropathies - so do discuss it with your doctor asap.

I was diagnose with Peripheral Neuropathy a year ago feet and hands... Diagnosed with PMR July past and now down to 12 mg steroids... My hands and feet have gotten worse , more so mornings , fingers/hands jump . Feet almost numb at times..Painful.... Doctor other day , I asked is the jumping hands neuropathy ? She said steroids will be making it worse.. As for feet/toes been prescribed Zacin cream on top of others meds which i haven't used yet... Says its unfortunate to have both the PMR and nueropathy... It sure is I say....

Hi @Shandon1, i have stopped taking Entocort 3 Mg. after years of taking it, and it took 3/4 of a year to get off of it. And my feet too get numb very easily, Entocort or the generic that i took is also considered a steroid. i can't say that i feel any better, but i didn't feel that good when i was on it either. i have read that on this site that others feel about the same with Prednisone . it's like being a rock and a hard place. but why take it if it doesn't do much for you. ?
