Suggest Treatment For Joint Pain
Hi Dr, I started using Medrol 4 MG last night. I had foot joint pain at night. Shortness of breath has improved but my feet joints are painful and my head seem to be spinning with some sort of pressure down towards the neck and ears are getting blocked. Is this something to worry about. Am expected to use medrol for the next 28 days. Was struggling to breathe. I underwent a vaginal hysterectomy in December.

Hi,
In my opinion If you will be taking this medicine for a long time, it is very important that your doctor check you at regular visits for any unwanted effects that may be caused by this medicine. Blood or urine tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
Medrol is kind of cortisone which may cause a lot if side effects. Talk to your doctor right away if you have more than one of these symptoms while you are using this medicine: blurred vision, dizziness or fainting, a fast, irregular, or pounding heartbeat, increased thirst or urination, irritability, or unusual tiredness or weakness. NSAIDS like Advil, muscle relaxants are recommended. Please give positive feedback if the information was helpful.
Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.
Regards,
Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
