How long does it take prednisone to work for a back injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few days: Prednisone is our strongest ant-inflammatory and back pain is inflammatory if you are not better after a few days of treatment you may need to consider other treatment such as physical therapy or localized facet blocks.
