Methylprednisolone 6 weeks out



Recommended Posts

So I was given methylprednisolone for plantar fasciitis(chronic) and now I have 2nd toe capsulitis which is newer.

I was hesitant to take this but I've tried everything under the sun for the plantar fasciitis in the past 2 years.

Shock wave therapy healed my right foot but not the left.

But this 2nd toe pain limits my walking tremendously so I agreed to the steroids. This pain is worse than the plantar fasciitis.

Next step is MRI to see if I have a ligament tear.

For those that take steroids did you have an increase in appetite? I feel hungrier and extremely tired.

Not sure if others experienced this and how you dealt with it.

Hate feeling hungry like this just 6 weeks post op.

Dealing with a heel spur where the Achilles attaches to the heel... bless your heart. Foot pain is horrible!!!

Sending healing prayers!

I'm no help on the steroids, I'm having an MRI the 6th to see about surgery.

I wonder if steroids would help me. I can barely walk some days and I'm on my feet 10-12 hour shifts at work. I had an MRI last month and have a partial tear of my peroneous Brevis tendon along with multiple ligament sprains in my left foot. I'm also 95% sure I've done something to my right ankle. But my feet are also killing me. I need something to relieve the pain Advil does nothing. I've never taken steroids before but I'll do anything to get some relief!

I haven't had my surgery yet so my answer may not apply, but I have been on steroids previously due to pain associated with my Lupus. I began at the end July of 2015 and by early December 2015 I had packed on nearly 50lbs. I craved foods...particularly sweets and carbs.

However...the steroids did manage my pain, but it definitely wasn't worth the weight gain

They have not helped me at all. I have 1 day left to take them.

What is very strange is for the 1st week after surgery I had no pain in my feet whatsoever. I was walking the dog as soon as I got home from the hospital.

I stopped the pain meds within several days so it wasn't that.

I can't figure out why I had no pain for 10 days after surgery then it came back when I went back to work!

Jess-ask about shock wave therapy. Only certain Drs have it. My insurance didn't cover it. It cost $75.00 a treatment and I had 5 treatments.

It did help my right foot though.

Foot pain interferes with everything

I don't have answers, but I'd like to let you know that my plantar fasciitis completely resolved within six months after surgery.

So stick to your plan. It's worth it!

I was on 90-60-30 mg a day for 3 weeks at about 2 weeks post op. I gained lots of Fluid weight but wasn't at all hungry and so stayed on plan. Lost fluid retention weight plus 6 pounds of fat within a week of finishing the prednisone.

I've been using my TENS unit and it helps a little bit.

I've had to take steroids for asthma in the past (fortunately it's been years) and they can make you ravenously hungry. And moody too, which is especially special.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
