inflammatory conditions
"I sprained my lumbar spine ligaments on Tuesday night.  Was barely able to walk, even after 2.5 days of taking prescribed muscle relaxer (Flexeril), Tramadol for pain, and Naproxen for inflammation.  The pain got so unbearable today that I went back to Urgent Care and begged for something else.  I was given a pack of prednisone.  Took 2 pills immediately, then one after lunch...here it is only 4 hours later and I am already up and moving around! This medication is incredible for this condition.  I only wish I had known about it all the other times I sprained by back and suffered for 1-2 weeks in agony!"
