I am starting hydrocortisone for pain relief 5mg 3x a day. I read the side effects and they are not very pretty. However, I may only be taking it a short time as it may not even work. Does anyone now how long it takes to get pain relief from it? Immediately - that day or a week?????????
Also, saw about being careful about taking herbs, supp. etc. with it. I take glutithione, zymitol, niancin, red yeast rice, also wellbutrin. My dr. is aware of all the supp. so I guess he feels I should be ok. Sure don't like the diabetes part,etc.
Just wondering when I could expect pain relief - if I get any at all as nothing else has worked thus far.
