Advice & Tips: i was able to walk, and stand without severe pain in my lower back. it was amazing because i normally need to ride on the wheel chairs in the grocery stores if more than 5 minutes, and i was able to walk at lest 15 -30 minutes before sitting down. this was good for me, and i loved it. but, after a few weeks, the medicine worn off and i was back to earth and in pain as usual. my doctor won't give me this treatment that often because she says it not good to take it all the time. this medicine made the lyrica work. i had been on lyrica for 4-5 weeks, and was not sleeping and the pain level was severe. but as soon as i took this medrol pak for a couple of days, i started sleeping for about 2 weeks straight, 10 to 12 hours straight each time. when i started moving around the house i notice i was not hurting as bad. i was cleaning up, and cooking dinner for the first time in months. And, this medicine is cheap. How come when the medicines are cheap, they are not good to take all the time? Wow
Cost: $25-49 monthly

Date: Jun 14, 2010
Advice & Tips: after taking this medicine my pain level is morate compared to the normal severe. Today I was able to clean up a little around the house.
