Rib cage tightness: Not sure what it might be

Actually, I have had the same experience with prednisone when I, about a six months, ago took a 5-day supply to fend off a lung problem. I felt great, and wished that I could keep taking it except for all the eventual harm it does! I will look into the Colchicine. Thank you, as it's definitely worth looking into!

Well day 3 and I have to admit it ramps and ebbs like an NSAID. And at the end of the day it doesn’t approach the stunning relief I got with prednisone. It’s a bit better than nothing and while I might expect some cumulative benefit but the risks of this drug means the benefit needs to be top notch - and it’s not. Not to mention it’s dreadfully expensive. I only had them fill a partial Prescription.

Agree. Talk to your doc. The drug comes with warnings and a list of drug interaction - I had to Stop my statin, which took me a Nanosecond to say ‘fine’. I’m finding it’s more like a pain reliever right now in that I take it around 8am, a couple of hours later I get peak relief and then around 5-6 it starts to diminish. I take the second dose 8:30-9pm.
I do think though that reducing inflammation is the goal. It’s not intended to be a long term script
