I'm really worried about this weakness and leg pain I've been experiencing. I've been taking Medrol for my swollen lymph nodes in the chest, with doses starting at 12mg, then 8mg, and now 4mg for about a week each. But just a couple of days before I was supposed to finish the 4mg dose, I suddenly started feeling extremely weak and my legs are in so much pain. It's been like this since. Any idea what might be going on?

I'm really concerned because every morning when I wake up, my ribs hurt, and sometimes it gets worse with each breath. It feels really unbearable, and I'm just not sure what to do since obviously, I can't stop breathing. What could be causing this, and how can I find relief?
This type of pain in the ribs that worsens with breathing could be due to inflammation of the muscles between the ribs, a condition known as costochondritis. To help alleviate the pain and inflammation, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) or naproxen (e.g. Aleve) at the recommended dosage. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and practicing deep breathing exercises may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
