I have herniated thoracic and lumbar disc and heal spurs. By day 7 the pain was alleviated which I do not get from nsaids or other otc anti inflammatories. However, I do not know if these pains will return upon cessation. I am on the last two days of the tapering down schedule...so we shall see.

I would recommend it. I have lumbar stenosis, and have had both epidurals and oral steroids to relieve acute flare ups. Both times I used prednisone, the acute symptoms were alleviated within 24 hours.

Methylprednisolone has been a God send for my degenerative osteoarthritis pain. I am 66 years old and have suffered with a flare up for about 4 months until I got help from this drug. My only concern is that this is my last day of treatment and I am starting to feel the pain return slowly as I wean off the med. What now I wonder can keep the pain away on a daily basis since I can't take this long term?

I have an auto immune disease that causes severe inflammation at my SI joints. I cannot take the traditional medicines typically prescribed, Humira, Enbrel, methotrexate, and cimzia to name a few. So, steroids are a temporary fix to reduce the inflammation from a flare up, and resulting pain involved.
When I take the dosepak the only side effects I experience are: the need to clean every thing. Seriously I have a ton of energy without being shaky. It also makes me slightly short with people around me. Not mad or angry, just curt. My heart sometimes races, but not every time.

What dose did you take during the first 7 days to notice that the pain level went down? Good luck with the rest of it! Great to hear that it has been working so far!
I took 4 mg dexamethasone 4 x's a day X 2 days and tapered down from there. I believe it was the accumulation of the doses that built up in my body that relieved the pain. I am now a few days off the meds and still feeling pretty good..but not pain free... but it definitely calmed the nerve pain. I was having a sharp pain when I inhaled. Now I am just sore but no severe pain upon inhalation...progress!
