Author hip joints-was Off prednisolone after 26 years

Thanks for all the feedback, I have a question now!
For the last few months, since before reducing my prednisolone, my hip joints
are painful and stiff. It is worse after a walk of some duration, but is not
severe, just enough to make me hobble when I start to walk. I also have
developed chronic low back pain when I am lying down, I find I can no longer
lie on my stomach without a lot of pain, but it is only there when I lie
down. Could I be developing another form of arthritis? I have already been
told I have spondylosis- due to neck and upper back pain.
Any ideas?
