Hmmm… thought I replied to this. Thank you! So far, still no pain. PCP’s ofc gave go-ahead to stop the steroids, which I did on Monday (day before yesterday). I walked yesterday and today and got in my 5K steps. So glad this is behind me. Drinking tart cherry juice every day. I still have the other two 20 mg prednisone in case it happens again.

It feels so good when you stop hitting yourself in the toe with a hammer. 😛

Thanks to all who participated. 🙂
