Can Prednisone Be Taken For Back Pain In Case Of Lupus?
I have taken 4 (200) of ibprophen this morning at 8.30 am. I am seeing a specialist as suspect polymyalgia rheumatic/lupus? I was put on prednisone at 30gms (in feb) and felt great so it was lowered and eventually taken off. Now the pain is back and severe. I quit taking it 2 months ago. Can I take 30gms now after having taken the ibprophen this morning. I see my Dr Tuesday.
