Suggest Treatment For Soreness In Thighs

See Dr, reconsider prednisolone and analgesics, control ESR
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,
the symptoms you are feeling to me still fall within the context of polymyalgia. even with normal values for markers of inflammation (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate, ESR), some patients can still be experiencing some pain.
I strongly think you should be put back carefully on Prednisolone. Associating other Non - steroidal anti inflammatory drugs or analgesics could be considered at times.
I think you go back on steroid therapy first, and get the erythrocyte sedimentation rate measured. Adding simple analgesics like Acetaminophen and other Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (like Ibuprofen) should be considered by your doctor based on your initial response to treatment. Side effects of these drugs however should be checked especially with the stomach (peptic ulcers ) and electrolyte imbalances (Calcium, Potassium).
Thanks and kind regards as I wish you the best of health.
