Suggest Treatment For Lower Back And Hip Pain Alongwith Stiffness
I am on day three of tamiflu which was perscribed as a preventative. This morning I woke a little more tired than usual. By 1 pm my lower back and hips became stiff and began to hurt. I am wondering if this is caused by the tamiflu and if I should continue with it. Some other possibly related information is that I have had hip pain twice in the recent past that usually starts approx 3 days into a 6 day dose of prednisone. My doctor feels I should no longer use steroids in the future.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern if this is viral related medical condition or immune system is matter here then steroid is not advisable here and you need to follow this, take care, have a nice day.
