Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Your swelling can be due to side effects of steroids. So this swelling will reduce after stopping the steroids if you can after consulting your doctor. Second your pain can be due to osteoporosis effect of steroids. You can be benefitted by vitamin D3 and calcium. It will be better to visit Orthopedician for complete treatment of osteoporosis. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
