Suggest Treatment For Withdrawal Symptoms Of Prednisone

I have swollen ankles and swollen lower legs. I thought it was a reaction from the prednisone I was taken for chronic pain. However, I have been off of the drug for almost two weeks. I am also very itchy all over my body. What may be causing these problems?
