What Causes Severe Body Pain While Taking Prednisone For Breast Cancer?

With breast cancer, my sister has gotten prednisone, 5 mg to use after the chemo treatments. She hurts all over and can t sleep due to the pain. Is that a side effect? Or is she having a reaction. Has problems with arthritis and a cold front has moved in. I can feel that too but now is getting better. But for her, is that normal?
