If you have questions or concerns about your plan of treatment, the best time and place to address them is while you are in the Dr's office. It is far less disturbing than to come back to follow up only to find the "nothing" that you took did not work due to concerns that could have been allayed. The steroid taper is low dose and short-duration. The meloxicam should ideally start after the steroid
