How long will it take for relief from severe pain for a patient with RA taking Medrol 4mg weekly?
Asked by Male, 55 · 2 months ago
Within a few days to a week, Medrol (methylprednisolone) typically begins to reduce pain and inflammation. A rheumatologist may need to modify the dosage or long-term RA treatment if significant discomfort continues.

Onset of Relief:
- Medrol can start reducing inflammation and pain within 24-48 hours after taking the dose.
Dose and Frequency:
- A weekly 4 mg dose is relatively low and may result in slower or less noticeable pain relief compared to daily dosing.
Individual Response:
- Pain relief varies based on disease severity, other medications, and individual factors.
Consult Your Doctor:
- Discuss your pain and medication schedule with your rheumatologist to ensure the dose and frequency are appropriate for your condition.
If pain remains severe, your doctor might adjust the dose or consider additional treatments. Always consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.
