Symptoms: You would benefit from an exam with your treating doc who will be able to address your symptoms in case more than a Medrol dosepak is needed. Deconditioning is also likely and more steroids may not necessarily help in the recovery process. Delicate decision that only your treating doc will be able to make by comparing symptoms and exam with previous.
