How safe is prednisone with a history of glaucoma and cataracts?
Asked on: 10/29/2010 - 17:36

I can no longer take NSAIDS because of potential renal disease and prednisone has been suggested as a replacement (5 mg/day) for my achy joints. Despite having peripheral iridotomies done to both eyes to prevent angle closure glaucoma, I developed an acute attack in one eye. The glaucoma made the cataract worse and it was removed.

I am 22 yrs old and was just diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis.
Asked on: 06/11/2010 - 11:01

It only affects my knees and primarily just my right knee. I started having problems with knee pain when I was 13. At 14 I dislocated my right patella. Dr's were unable to reduce my patella, so I ended up in emergency surgery to put it back in place. Before this I had general pain in both knees.
