A: While there is no certainty for what causes polymyalgia rheumatica, simvistatin can cause problems in some people that result in muscle aches, fever, bloating, and overall malaise. In some cases this is a result of acute damage to the liver or TEENney and as long as the causing agent isn't continuously taken, it will not cause permanent damage. The prednisone will help with the pain, fever, and reduction of the inflammation. Since you have already taken the prednisone for over a week, you will eventually have to taper down off of the dose. Q: Does taking 5 mg of prednisone a day cause weight gain?. A: Clinical studies show that prednisone 20 mg daily fits in the ranges of usual daily doses. Prednisone is used to treat inflammation associated with illnesses. If a patient's TEENney function or liver function is low, then a doctor might prescribe a lower dose.
