Can Prednisone Be Taken Without Prescription For Arthritic Pain?
I just finished a round of prednisone about ten days ago for allergy problems. I am experiencing severe arthritic pain in my wrists. I have had this for years but pain is much worse right now and has been bad for about five days. I have some prednisone from the past that I never used. Should I use it?
