solu medrol knee pain

For those of you who have had to get the solu-medrol treatment IV for 5 days, how did this affect you and your body? It has been a couple weeks since I stopped the out-patient treatment for the IV. I am still awake a lot of the time when I should be sleeping. I got about 2 hours of sleep last night, and today, I lay down to rest and I can't still.

Debs, It sounds like you mights as well take the Medrol - try it his way and then if it doesn't work out, you can go back and as for the solu-medrol. I'm guessing it is very close- just the "solu" means it is a liquid form (soluble) - again that's just my guess. Sorry you have to tough it out and take the meds - we all are taking stuff we would rather not ingest but do so because we're adults and understand the alternative. :-) Let us know how it goes...

I was diagnosed with Lupus Nephritus IV , my doctor had me do a 3 day IV treatment of 1g solu Medrol , each, that was a week ago. I was already on prednisone 60 mg a day and right before the treatment Cellcept was added. I am feeling like I got hit by bus ! I read elsewhere that most of my current issues are withdrawal from the Solu Medrol . I was wondering if anyone else has had this treatment and how long it took to feel" normal" ?

Her sympthoms are dissappeared, but after she left the hospital, she experienced some problems, like knee pain, spinal pain, she feel her legs overburdened, and she complained yesterday, when she washed her hands in hot water she feels some tinglings. These sympthoms sound like a new relapse, but it would be so uncommon, because the steroid worked well (double vision, mild swallowing problems disappeared). So is it a side effect of steroid?? What do you think?

I finished my IV Solu-Medrol on 9/19, and now only a little over 2 weeks later, my eye is hurting again. Could I already be relapsing? My vision is still o-kay, but the pain is definitely back.

i had on hand a solu-medrol had my boyfriend give me inj 1.5cc Im glute but he gave it too me about 1 inch to the left and now i have swelling at the site about the size of a quarter i am a nursing student and try to walk him through it and made sure he aspirated will i be ok???

Anyone have any ideas how to cope with the solu-medrol headaches? I slept about 3 1/2 hours, nurse is coming back in 2 1/2 for round 2 of the infusion, so have a couple of more days with the headaches.

COME MONDAY MORNING THE SPINAL AND KNEE PAIN WAS THROUGH THE ROOF,I CALLED MY NEURO HE TOLD ME TO TAKE A 12O MGS OF MY MS CONTIN EVERY 6 HOURS,WELL IT HELPED THE BACK,BUT NOT THE KNEE,WELL COME LAST EVENING I COULDN'T PUT ANY WEIGHT ON THE RIGHT LEG, I SHOWED MY SON,HE MADE ME GO TO THE ER.I HAVE BURSITIS AND CELLULITIS. SEEN MY FAMILY DR.

I have a quick question for you all... My neurologist says he doesn't want to give me Solu-Medrol for this "flare" because he said it would affect the MRI results as well as the LP if we do it fairly soon. Is what he told me true or is he just making me suffer for no reason? I don't know any better and thought who best to ask than you guys. Thanks so much.

Famliy Dr started a Decadron taper saying that it looks like MS but symptoms worsened. Neuro started IV Solu-Medrol 500mg x5 days and today was the last dose. Still numb arm. Just curious if any of you have experienced anything like this or how long it may take to get some relief from Solu-Medrol. Any information is very much so appreciated. Kinda freaking out here!!! Thanks!

I will have my first solu-medrol treatment at the end of this week. I have read the opinion of one person who has had this treatment before and they said that you should not drive or work. It was not clear if they were referring to just hours after the treatment or the entire five day course. I really need to work, and in order to work, I really need to be able to drive. Please tell me your experience with solu-medrol, especially if you continued to work during the treatment course.

Two days after a 5-day course of IV Steroids was over, I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst leg pain, both legs. The pain affected both legs from the knee down. It felt like someone was taking a baseball bat to both legs trying to crush every bone.

My question is whether this feeling is a side effect of Solu-medrol or an MS symptom that his not being relieved by the Solu-medrol? I would be grateful for any insight!

I had my first experience with Solu-Medrol infusion in early August. My relapse had just started and was worsening daily-right before I was due to start training for my new job! The immediate side-effects were quite obvious and well documented. I'm having less success finding out about long-term side-effects-in particular, rapid weight gain. I noticed the bloating quite early in my treatment, especially in my face and abdomen.

( Before I had that last knee replacement I had a lot of sciatic type pain run down my leg, wrap around my outer knee and travel all the way to my foot. It's a possibility. Bravo! Bravo!! Bravo!!! This is for the walker use. I know you hate the thing but I hate the idea of you on the floor with yet another problem. Such wisdom you are showing my friend :) Please do the right thing again tomorrow and call the neuro to report this.

Hi, I am 33 Years old, 7 months back I was masturbating and it seems I pressed too hard on my penis, the day after I felt severe pain on flaccid, I visited a urologist who diagnosed me initially with peyronies disases, and injected me with steroid injection (Solu Medrol 1g), which did nothing with pain. I have done 4 Ultrasounds during the last 7 months and all shows normal. Today I visited the urologist again, and he said there is no fibrosis, it is maybe the dorsal nerve.

I started my exacerbation in April of this year and immediately got on Solu-Medrol. I took the Solu-Medrol for 6 days at maximum dosage and tapered off with Prednisone. While my Optic Neuritis went away after only a couple of weeks or so, I soon had a Trigeminal Neuralgia attack. This only happened once, thank God, but a few days later, I began to experience difficulty walking. I still have difficulty walking, some days good, some days really bad, but the other symptoms have vanished.

i had a 3-day solu-medrol infusion last week after a c-spine MRI revealed possible myelitis. i have had all the yucky side effects from the steroids which are subsiding--thank heavens--but instead of feeling better, it seems as though my other symptoms are getting worse--buzzing, achey joints, etc. is this typical? is it the case where things will get worse before they get better?

I have been taking pain meds (neurontin for a while, then lyrica, now carbamazapin) as well as receiving Solu-Medrol IV treatments (every 2 1/2 months for 4 days - 1/2 hr). I was laid off, had cobra, but it ran out by Sept 2012. My neurologist gave me my last treatment then. I hadn't had really much "MSy" type symptoms for a while, that is, till the end of February...a bit of the usual achiness, some numbness.

A week later I had double vision which prompted my first round of Solu-Medrol. The drug did seem to help, and I saw a steady improvement until the beginning of April, where I estimate I was about 95% of normal. Only if I looked to the far left I saw double. Well, I began a new relapse mid April (other sensory symptoms) which I was given another round of Solu-Medrol in the beginning of May.

i am 24 and up till now have not been allergic to anything 8 months ago or so had an allergy to penicillin not too bad hives took benadryl then and allergy to solu-medrol (i have asthma) swellin tounge swell and hard time breathing bactrum (had a sinus infx)same S/E with the bactrum now flector patch for my knee pain took it for 20 min or had it on and got some crazy tinglin. what is going on why all the allergies to pain med and antibiotic is it me, my immune system??

I have since had my first exacerbation in the form of ON and just finished a 6 day course of oral Solu-Medrol at home. The course of Solu-Medrol was initially supposed to be for 3 days, but there was no improvement of my condition, so the Doc decided to prescribe 3 more days worth. When I asked the Doctor about beginning D.M.D.s again, she said that I would need to discuss it with my Neurologist. I did so, and my Neurologist booked me an appointment for the end of this month.

How often do people have solu-medrol infusions? I am on my first round and it has helped. How about these new trial drugs that have proven to be effective - the oral ones?
