Medication Question

[Guest guest]

My orthopedist just prescribed a Medrol Dose Pack for me to take for my

back. Screwed it up last week while wrapping x-mas presents sitting on

the floor and then went for a relaxing hot stone massage today and,

well, let's just say, that didn't help it much.

I was on a 15 day Prednisone taper a few months ago that damn near

killed me, but that started out with 80 mg the first three days, then 60

for three days, etc. The Medrol Dose Pack are 4 mg tablets with the

first day taking 6 tablets, 24 mg will be the highest dose I take in a

day going down 4 mg each day for a total of 6 days. So paranoid about

any of this stuff. Will admit, my back felt pretty damn good a few

months ago while on the Prednisone. Any gurus out there who know about

this stuff?

Thanks.
