I'm pretty sure Medrol is a form of Prednisone, not sure? I'm currently taking 8mg a day. Is this enough to make me put on weight?
Since I've been taking it (6days) I've lost 5 lbs (not complaining). The thing is, it isn't even helping me! Is it too soon to call doc and tell him it's not helping? I'm so frustrated. The pain seems to be increasing a little bit each day...and I'm wiped out. It seems like I get little bits of energy, and that is when I seem to get a little bit done around the house, then I veg out!
You should be getting pain relief after 24-48 hrs. I would definitely call the RD and increase the dose.

Yeah it might not be ENOUGH for you, actually. Are you experiencing any side effects or anything??Yeah-I think 30 was my starting dose, then down to 15, then 10 a day. I don't think it's enough prednisone. (medrol is pred)
