My doctor put me on a 6 day Medral Dose Pack last Monday, Aug 3. I took the final dose Saturday. By last Wed I was feeling so much better and the inflammation and pain were all but gone. Monday, Aug 10, the pain was back: in my right foot, my knees, my hips, my back, my hands and my right elbow where it all started.

My question is this: Will the pain diminish over the next few weeks, or is it normal to have this resurgence of pain? My blood workup from mid-July showed that I had had inflammation, but it was supposedly getting better. My doc said if the Medral Dose Pack didn't take care of it, we'd have to re-evaluate. All my inflammation panel and general bloodwork came out within the normal range. I go back to him on Aug 26 which is two weeks from now. I have a call in to him to ask if we need to do something different before the 26th, but he has yet to call me back. My hubby doesn't like to see me with so many pain sites, and I just feel yucky.

Anyone any thoughts? Thanks.
