I am taking this medication for a herniated disc in my lower back, L4-L5. This incident has caused extreme pain to my back with pain radiation down my left leg. After one day of starting a Medrol Pack the pain is almost nil. My only complainant is difficulty sleeping. I have used this medication before approx. 3 years ago for a similar back injury and I also experienced profound positive effec...
The medication has helped with my pain from a herniated disk in my neck, but the side effects are worse than the relief. I am very dizzy and have a horrible headache. I am very glad I am almost done with the pack, hopefully it has a lasting effect with the relief but I cannot wait for the side effects t stop!

This drug worked on the first day I started it and eased the sharp and severe pain I had been having for nearly a week. Now I can sleep through the night without any pain. Before I had 10 hours of pain and could only sleep a few hours each day. Only problem after first day, is to remind myself I have to finish ALL the prescription since the pain is gone, I do forget I have to keep taking the FULL 6 days. It works GREAT and so glad I did not have to wait - days and days before I would feel better.Read More Read Less
