Joint pain after stopping prednisone

Looking for feedback. Diagnosed with pancolitis one year ago. Humira didn't work and started Entyvio back in April and it seems to have worked so far. Colonoscopy on June 17 showed mild colitis so that's great news. Tapered off and just stopped using prednisone and my colitis symptoms are still almost nonexistent. However for the past 3 to 4 weeks I have really bad joint pain from head to toe. Glutes, hips, thighs, knees are all very stiff. I do take pravastatin and recently my cardio guy doubled the dose to 40 mg. So right now I am on MP6 , Entyvio and Lialda. I saw my GI and had some blood work done and scheduled a rheumatology appointment. Has anyone experienced similar symptoms of bad joint pain when going off of prednisone? How long before pain subsided. I was on prednisone from August 2015 until July 2016. feedback appreciated

Tell us about the total length of time you were on prednisone, and about your taper schedule. If you tapered too quickly then you might have a temporary withdrawal symptoms for 2-4 days, or a bigger issue of a still sleeping adrenal system. Prednisone puts your adrenal system to sleep, once off then your adrenals are supposed to wake up and if they don't then you will experience fatigue, aches and pains, etc. An endocrinologist doctor could help, if that's the case. Reintroduction and slower taper of prednisone can help wake them up.
