Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have arthritis in my lower back and got a cortisone shot which helped. Also prescribed a Medrol Dose Pak. Walked 25,000 steps yesterday and have a catch in my lower back that s very painful. Been on a heating pad since yesterday evening. If I start the Medrol Dose Pak, will it help?

Is Medrol Dose Pak Effective For Lower Back Pain?
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic The medrol dose may help to further reduce your pain along with the heating pad, resting as much as possible and anti inflammatory pain medication. A muscle relaxant may also be appropriate as well to help to relax the muscles in the back eg soma, flexeril, baclofen I hope this helps
