My 12 year old son was diagnosed in July with Crohn's. GI wanted to prescribe prednisone right away. I asked if he could use entecort instead to which the GI agreed. Really no side effects other than feeling lightheaded in the morning. Had been taking that for 7 weeks up until yesterday. Initially it was helping alleviate the bleeding he was experiencing. More recently in the last couple of weeks bleeding started picking up again and his SED rate went from 9 to 26. GI said we needed to switch to prednisone. Yesterday morning took his first dose of 40mg, by last night he had severe bone pain in his left shin to the point he was crying. Have a call into the GI's office but haven't heard back from them yet. Called the pharmacist and she didn't think it could have caused pain that quick. Has anyone else's kid experienced this type of bone pain due to prednisone? Seems too coincidental to me for it not to be the cause. Thanks
