So yesterday i had went to a new doctor. I had not seen a doctor here about any of this. He ran the clinic tests asked me a bunch of questions and did a points test on me. He said it looked like fibro to him and recommended me to a Rhumatolist,
He gave me some meds to help until my other appointment. They are Prednisone 20 mg. and Ibuprofen 600 mg. I am a little sick like from my first dose this morning because i didn't have toast first. I am a little uneasy about some of the side effects but so far I am doing ok.

Prednisone is a steroid....and would help with inflammation. But many of us feel better while on steroids. They are just not good long term.
I hope you find relief.
I'm glad you are feeling ok!
If you take it for more than 10 days, take a multi vitamin as steroids eat away at your bones when they are high doses for a long period of time.
You just might feel better. And BTW, I agree with Steva...I can't take Ibuprofen anymore because my stomach was just too tender for it to begin with. And I was young and foolish. I never took it with food.
Now there are days I wish I could take a anti-inflammatory med.
I hope you feel better soon.
