As far as the gym , do I go easy with the weights ? What do I do to not make things worse ?

Prednisone is what I think is called a catabolic steroid (opposite of anabolic). It reduces inflammation essentially by breaking down tissue. So Guns is warning you about possible - even likely - tendon, ligament and muscle injury because of your weakened state resulting from the effects of prednisone. So DEFINITELY take it easy on the weights, go lighter than normal; less intense; DO NOT push yourself while you're on that shit or for a few days after.

I had a sinus infection a couple years ago and the doc was going to give me prednisone for the sinus inflammation until I told him I was playing in a hockey tournament that weekend. He scrapped the prednisone immediately when he heard that because of the reasons I stated.
