A member asked:

Medrol dosepak works very well for my cervical stenosis / radicular pain during a flare up. can you take medrol every day safely in a lower dose and achieve the same results long term ? i already take lyrica and celebrex.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: While long term steroids are necessary for some diagnoses such as COPD, it is NOT indicated for your situation due to many negative side side effects, such as weight gain, water retention, elevated blood sugar, bone softening, and fat redistribution. If you still have pain after the dospak, consider injections, radio frequency ablations and other techniques used by pain physicians. Good luck
