What Causes Severe Knee Pain After Taking Prednisone?

I had total knee replacement 10 years ago. Today I was prescribed Prednisone for sinus pressure and swelling. My knees are both hurting now. The temperature is also dropping. It s dropped about 10 degrees in 4 hours. My knees will hurt sometimes with temperature dropping and cold weather. The only things that have changed today and I ve had to move my legs and knees constantly to keep them from hurting too much. Is there a connection?

For pain in knee you can take some pain killer like akilos-p or biozobid-plus as and when required. Take some calcium supplements like shalcal-d along with multivitamins. Use volidup pr powergesic gel for local application. Do regular exercises and hot fomentation over the affected area for more help.
