Increase Of Pain In Back, Arm After Recall Of Prednisone. Side Effect?

My guestion is in regards to the recall of the 20mg Prednisone. I was just on prednisone for my back instead of feeling better I feel worst. Not only does my back contnue to hurt ,every location that ive had a fracture or the arm in which I had a torn rotator cuff is stiff and giving me pain. What are the symthoms of the recalled drug. I have taken prednisone before and did not have this reaction. I am anurse and am not aware of this being a side effect

Hi
Your question is very confusing. Recalled Drugs mean Drugs which are removed from markets By FDA or the producing Farms. But your asking seems reuse of drugs that you have used previously. You took Prednisolone without any problem . But you have not mentioned the illness, now you are taking it for back ?pain . Prednisolone does not have any such side effects. Its side effects are commonly- Weight gain, Facial swelling, fatigue or weakness, Depression, mania, psychosis, Peptic ulcer, Infections, Steroid-induced osteoporosis, etc., and sometimes Painful hips or shoulders and joint pain but very rare. But you better avoid it if you sustained a fracture. For pain you can simply use Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen, all of which are available over the counter in most countries.
