Feeling worse after Medrol-depo

Hi everyone,
I'm currently taking Sulfasalazine and arcoxia. After my diagnosis in July, I had a shot of methylprednisolone 120mg. I felt great for a few weeks afterwards.
I had another on Thursday as I'm having a flare. Two days on I feel worse.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?

  1. Hi ,

    Thanks for reaching out to the community. I'm very sorry to read that you are flaring 🙁 How are you feeling today?

    I don't have personal experience with this but I'm hoping other community members will stop by and share with you. In the meantime, I thought that this article on corticosteroid injections may be of interest: https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/medications/corticosteriod-how-well-works-side-effects/

    Are you due to catch up with your rheumatologist anytime soon?
