Is it good for inflammation caused by Osteo-Arthritis? Can the patient take one tablet of 10mg prednisolone once in a week and ibuprofen as daily?

[@NurseRyan]

Hi, sorry for the very late response, I missed your comment! I would always recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for any actual medical advice, as these videos are meant only for educational purposes! Prednisone can be used to help treat inflammation caused by arthritis, but you would need to check with your doctor first to see if it is right for you. Hope that helps!

does prednisone increase or decrease WBC count?

[@NurseRyan]

Corticosteroids (like Prednisone) have been shown to increase WBC count. Hope that helps!

I been Using prednisone 6 months and it help me to breath easier and to smell as well. Been Using it for longer period may cause side effect in future doctor "stated". What can I use other then prednisone tablets to stabilise my health issues related to sinuses/asthma?

[@NurseRyan]

It is very important to continue taking corticosteroids like Prednisone as prescribed by your doctor. If you are taking it regularly and are worried about the long-term side effects, I would recommend sharing your concerns with your doctor. They can hopefully provide some reassurance or alternatives to help with your health issues!

I don't no how to live any more after taking Steroid 1 injection destroyed a healthy life in to so many problems that suicide unfortunately would be an only alternative. but being a believe with a soul i thought 1 once had is shot to hell and now made to see no creator what so ever making one feel the life of Hell only with preachers pushing a worse hell is the worse torture any one would go through never mind the poor millions who suffered in 1944 nazi camps. God creation does nothing for it.
