Inflammatory Conditions
"Prednisone really surprised me as a miracle for severe pain. Previously I only knew about opiate painkillers. Reason: I suddenly couldn&#039;t walk or stand on one foot - severe throbbing pain. Hastily diagnosed as plantar fascitiis, but I didn&#039;t respond to the NSAID prescribed. Went to get a second opinion, as I&#039;m convinced I&#039;ve got a fracture. Anyhow, after *stressing* how severe my pain was, the second doctor gave me prednisone, oral tablets. My god, it&#039;s a miracle. I can walk again. And I feel like a million bucks to boot (euphoric side-effect?). I can still feel the pain slightly, but somehow the prednisone has got me to where I don&#039;t mind walking on it. I never knew that prednisone was a miracle severe pain-killer, but I know it now."
