Good morning WD40,

......a word of caution about Medrol that you are requesting from your doc. Your Inflammation indicates possible immune system disorder which has its root in Rheumatoid Arthritis, which is a disease that cannot be cured. In a lot of cases RA might be controlled with right meds, and diets, and exercise. If you are not currently seeing a Rheumatologist with this discomfort, I would suggest you seek a referral from your primary care doc. Thru a blood test looking for RA markers you can find out if this is your real problem.

i see that Medrol has a form of prednisone in it. This is not a quick fix......but a long term solution with some drawbacks.....also not a med you use for a few times.

My best
joe
