Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Dawn and Sally, I have back pain from my neck down to my lumbar region. MRI's show bulging discs and arthritic changes. I don't know if itis rp related but I can't help thinking some of it is. I find raising my pred just a little (i.e. 5mg per day to 7 1/2 mg per day helps quite a lot) My saudi rheumy told me it was ok (in my case) to go up to 10mg without referring to him or another doctor, but not to go over. This has worked quite well for me for the last year. I have got right off once or twice, but flared soon afterwards. My US rheumy said it is ok to use Celebrex occasionally when pain was bad, this is also effective. Hope this helps. Maybe you should look for another rheumy... love Liz __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
