A member asked:

I was prescribed prednisone 60mg for 5 days without tapering as i have disc prolapse my question is it ok to abruptly stop prednisone after 5 days ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes since short dura: yes since it's a short duration. This depends whether you have other health problems, or taking prednisone before for long periods. I am not a fan of using prednisone for this type of neck pain. It would be best to see your physician, get a full of evaluation, and a clear diagnosis
