My swelling took forever to go away after my IVSM, but I had 3 weeks of it and one week taper of oral prednisone. I stayed swollen for a few months. I hate steroids and will never be doing them again. If you flare again, you may want to try Acthar gel. They say it works as good as IVSM, but without the side effects solumedrol gives you.
