Tingling in hands and feet

Just wondering if anyone on Pred 20mg has had tingling in their hand and feet occasionally?? I've only been on it for 2 weeks as recently diagnosed with PMR just yesterday the sensation started!

Hi Andrea, I am a newbie and start pred 20mg November just past but I have not experienced any tingling in hands and feet,  But I think I read somewhere here have experienced.  I am no expert but there are some people on here who have medical backgrounds and are so helpful and kind and will give you info, support and advice.  Good luck on your journey and keep in touch.

I have experienced tingling in my hands and feet, but it goes away after a while.

Not too much of a problem. If the wrist swells and feels inflamed which has happened to me before,  I had to up the Prednisone to double for 3 days, and then I was fine. I was told  by my rheumy that it is a sign of RA.

I'm on the same dosage.  Occasionally my feet feel like they are slightly asleep and they tingle.  I've heard from others that they get that feeling also.

It is a listed side effect of pred and is something they suggest mentioning to your doctor.

Yes- I have it in one hand almost all the time.
