A member asked:
After taking 40mg of prednisone at the start and tapering down to 4mg, i have gained a less flat stomach. should i start working out now or wait?

Not sure: It depends on why you're taking prednisone. For example if you're having an inflammatory bowel flare-up, it's probably a good idea to get well first before aggressively working out. Ask the doc who prescribed it.
