How Often Can Methylprednisolone Be Taken For Backache?
I started methylprednisolone (4mg tapered pack) this morning for unresolved post fusion back pain. If this helps my pain how often could I safely take this steroid for chronic pain? What do you think is the safest most effective amount? I m 68 and weigh 138 lbs.
