Server lower back pain. prescribed prednisone 20mg 3 x day. day two no relief?

Suggests that inflammation may not be the cause of the pain but give it another 2 days. Call the Dr who prescribed it and knows what they think in going on.

What is the cause of your back pain? That dose of prednisone can alleviate the discomfort caused by spinal arthritis but other causes of severe back pain such as a compression fracture of a vertebra or even a severe muscle strain usually won't be helped.
