I've taken Prednisone before with almost immediate relief....but it was a higher dose than 7.5mg.

Prednisone does relieve inflammation but it can be hard on other organs in the body. I always thought that it was one med that had to be taken carefully and sparingly. It can also weaken your bones so it's a good idea to be carefully monitored if you are taking even a lower dose on a regular basis.
