Can a Short Term Course of Prednisone Cause Hip Necrosis?

I recently got prescribed a short term course of corticoids for post-rhinoplasty swelling. I took 60 mg for 4 days, then 40 for one day and the started the taper (12.5 mg today, 10 tomorrow, 5 for two more days). I am terrified because I've experienced stiffness and discomfort as I walk and I think it might be necrosis. Should I be afraid now? I am really concerned because I hadn't had this pain before, although it's true that I've been walking a lot lately. What do you think?

Thank you for your question. Small irregularities that can be felt but not seen after rhinoplasty are quite common.  They only need to be treated if it becomes visible.  Small bumps and depressions can be treated non-surgically.  There is still swelling of the tip at this stage,...

The string is probably a left over suture that is being resorbed. Your doctor or nurse would be happy to clip it for you. At this point, it is not likely to hurt the results.  Allthe best.

    Your plastic surgeon will examine you to determine if there is indication of infection.  Just make your surgeon aware of your concerns.  You can always have your operation on another day, although inconvenient.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
