I've recently been prescribed Solu-Medrol 40mg Inj, 1 Vial, for a severe flare-up of my arthritis. I've heard mixed things about steroid injections and want to know if anyone has experience with this specific medication. How effective is it, and what are the most common side effects you've encountered? I'm particularly worried about the potential for weight gain and skin changes. Are there any tips for managing these side effects? Let's discuss our experiences and any advice you have for using this drug.
