Methylprednisolone
"31 days post-op from fusion in my neck & Microdiscectomy in my lower back.   Overall, surgeries were a great success and 85% of all pre-surgical symptoms are gone.  Still having pretty bad leg, hip, and pain around sciatic region as they were present five years and will of course take time to subside.  I was recently put on my second 7 day 4mg methylprednisolone pack and first 24 hours have been hell.  Level 10 pain in my leg where they made room for nerve and removed bone and sore hips. These pills suck in the first few days.  Having taken them before, I know they work wonders, but appetite through the roof, paranoid as I have ever been, can't sleep, and pain."
