For Allergic Rhinitis "This medicine was prescribed to treat allergic rhinitis, and I have had terrible leg spasms and leg pain. I have eaten potassium-rich foods and have stayed hydrated, but the pain will not go away. I cannot sleep due to the leg pain. I will never take this medicine again unless it is for life-saving measures."

For Inflammatory Conditions "I have used it 3 times, and each time with amazing success for musculoskeletal conditions. The first for knee injuries, pain, and swelling - had a hard time walking or doing stairs - iced and rested for a week with ibuprofen and no success. One Medrol pack, and I was significantly better - I still had issues because I tore the meniscus, but I could walk again relatively pain-free. The second for back pain - I had a hard time sleeping and pain with sitting, standing, transitional movement. The Medrol pack took the pain away, and I gradually returned to activity a week later. I always make sure not to do any excess activity when taking them to allow my body to heal, but once I’m finished with the pack, I get back to returning to sport. I am on my third one (over 1.5 years), I just started on it, and I feel so much better, and I have an amazing sense of well-being - or maybe it’s just the fact that I’m not feeling pain anymore! I will finish the pack as directed, however, amazing medicine!"

For Inflammatory Conditions "I took this after hand surgery, and now I have pain in both my upper arms and both knees. The doctor says to try pain management. Not sure what's causing it, but I am in a lot of pain."
