Suggest Prednisone Dosage For The Treatment Of Backache
Two weeks ago I was prescribed to take 60mg of prednisone per day for 5 days for my back pain and sciatica pain. I did NOT take it and my pain is 50% better but still there. So I am wondering if I can take 20mg per day for 5 days instead of 60mg as prescribed. Thank you

I have read your details and in my opinion prednisolone has no role in the treatment of back pain , though it is prescribed an acute and early stages. Taking prednisolone may not help you at present.
