Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have Polymyalgia Rheumatica and have gone on a healthy vegan diet, including NO sugar esp. with taking prednisone. I had a piece of rich chocolate cake for my birthday after not eating sugar (or wheat) for months and felt as if I was hti by a truck. Stiffness and pain. Then I tried it again two days later and the same thing happened. Can sugar do this to a person who has given it up?

Can Sugar Intake Cause Stiffness And Pain?
Hello, It is unrelated to sugar intake. Possible causes like poly arthritis must be ruled out. Consult a rheumatologist and he will direct you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family physician
