I took 10mg a day of prednisolone last summer when my back went out. I had no problems with it or the taper off. In fact I felt really good afterwards! That wonderful relief lasted about a month before my old pain returned but a bit lesser. I had a pain event in my mid torso under my shoulder blade...I couldn't raise my arms, drive my car, or
do much of anything for 2 weeks. The pred did not flare my PN either.
But everyone is different. If steroids weren't so bad for my blood sugar and have long term risks for bones, I'd take them more often.
