I Was On Prednisone For 2 Weeks For Pneumonia. I

I was on prednisone for 2 weeks for Pneumonia. I gained about 35 pounds and now a month later I cannot shed the weight. I have very little energy to exercise although I try, and my scrotum is very swollen which inhibits my physical activity as well. I have been on lasix 1st 20 mg a day the 40mg along with Potassium still no change. Is there some form of treatment I can pursue for the weight gain and swelling as I am really struggling with the situation as is my spouse. Thank You Dan Cifalia YYYY@YYYY
