I wouldn't be concerned about the Addison's disease, or the treatment causing the limp. The limp is likely due to another problem like a soft tissue injury, or possibly a fracture. Considering it's been going on for a week, it's best to have her evaluated by a vet. They will help to determine the cause of this and offer the necessary treatment to make her feel better. For now, it's good to ice the affected limb for 15 minutes, three times a day. It's also good to not let her run and jump while she is limping. I hope that helps and Peanut gets better soon.
