I have a pak now that my family Dr. gave me for roter cuff pain. It has helped so much after only one day. Also, i can breath better & walk longer distances. Why couldn't I take it more often when the symptoms worsen?
I have copd & emphazema. Predisone helps me so much but the Dr.s are reluctant to give it to me?

I call it a pak because it comes in a pak that you take for several days has the directions on how many to take each day until gone. I am almost finished with it now, one more day and it will be gone. The pain has subsided and I feel better but reailze I cannot stay on it. I realize that they are harmful if you take them for any lenght of time. Thank you for your interest and advice, you are right.
