Comment:
bulging disk. (C 5)disk. This is a flare up from an initial disk problem 18 years ago, this time seems to be as painful as the first one. I am takin Methlprednisolone 4 mg. This is the first day on this of drug treatment. I am also taking 800 mg of ibuprofin 3 times a day. Do you think this the correct drug treatment at this point. What physical limitations should I use? Thanks, Robert Keeton

It was prescribed for me for severe pharyngitis. I took the full course as directed, but it did not even begin to shrink my tonsils.
