What Causes Swelling In The Hands While On Methylprednisolone And Tramadol?

I am taking methylprednisolone and I did take half of a tramadol 50mg the first day. I am now on day two and did not continue with the tramadol because I noticed swelling in the blood vessels on the top of my hands I was told it was likely the tramadol, but it s still swolen. I just completed day 2 of the steroids and have four days to go and I am concerned about the swelling. My other question was going to be about the sporting since I just finished my cycle about a week ago and am now spotting.

Hi
Went through your post your concern is genuine it is a fact that most of people worry about taking steroids, but let me assure you that short course of steroids for a week or less is not going to cause any problem however long term steroids do cause a lot of side effects, I would suggest you take a PPI Like pantoprozole along with steroids that will dicrease the Gastric irritation of steroids.
I find this answer helpful
