Hy everybody

My husband has been diagnosed with MP. He is taking 60mg prednisone a day since 4days now. There is absolutely no improvement in the pain level that are quite debilitating. I would like to ask how long its normally takes to notice some changes? The doc would like to go on for 1 month. The pains worsen when he has to stay seated for hours (for example at the office). Sometimes it s so bad that also breathing hurts. Are those symptoms common for people with MP?

Thank you very much for your support!

Mary

Hello Mary, welcome to Connect. You found the right place to ask other members about MP.

I would like to invite @vdouglas to share their thoughts and experiences with pain medications and effectiveness regarding MP.

@mary987, you said the doc would like him to go a month, will the doc reassess then? Have you made your doc aware of your husband's increasing pain and difficulty?
