Osteoarthritis
"I have lower back disc herniations that aren&#039;t helped by epidural injections and need surgery, so my family MD says. I have not been to a neurosurgeon. Yet. I was given prednisone in a dosepak, 40 mg for 3 days, 30 mg for 3 days, etc. It was a tremendous help. I was able to bend again without pain. The family MD is very strict about dose levels. He will only give me that tapering dose twice a year. I have been planning my vacations and special events around it. Now I have obtained prednisone generic from an Indian manufacturer without a prescription.  I am doing more of these tapers a year with great relief. I know I am taking a risk in many areas, but the pain was too great.  I am happy with my decision."
