Steroid Tablets for 2 Weeks for Rhinoplasty?

Katherine1990
Hi! I have finished a prescribed course of Prednisone at 25mg p/day for 7 days. my doctor said to come back and she will be able to prescribe me more. However, I have heard that taking Prednisone for longer than one week has bad sideaffects- are there any negative side affects which will affect my nose? I have heard steroids weaken the bones? I am taking and have been for one month, calcium and vit. D supplements. Would taking more prednisone be OK for another week? Thanks!
