"At 43 I started to get acute gout attacks in my feet and ankle. I ended up in the emergency room twice in 1 month when I started on Allopurinal. They gave me an injection of Toradol and an hour or so later the swelling was gone and I was able to sleep and function. Attacks continued for months and lasted at least a week. Indomethacin, Colchine, & Naproxen have ZERO impact on reduction of the inflammation. Last night I decided I cannot take another $700 bill to the ER and did a teladoc session covered by insurance. The doc prescribed MethylPREDNISolone and within 2 hours I was able to get to sleep. This morning I woke up after 6 hours of sleep feeling like my foot is 95% back to normal. I am planning on working out this afternoon. While this is great to be pain free it is not figuring out the root cause of the problem. I am looking at the gut biome in my own research and believe after looking at many studies I may have an imbalance in the helpful bacteria inside my body."

"Works quickly to relieve pain. Rarely need full dosage to completely relieve pain. Have tried shots, indomethacin, Celebrex, Etodolac(severe reaction). This works best, have used for over 10 years now. Use only upon attack."

"I usually wait to take this drug in the hope that the gout pain will pass. I ALWAYS regret not taking it right away. You feel relief in a couple of hours and I have never had a side effect or stomach upset. For me it works great. Sometimes though the day after I take the last pill my toe knuckle swells up again. I wait again to restart the dose. "

"My first experience with gout. Woke up with left foot pain, thought I got a spider bite while I slept. Quickly worsened where walking was very difficult. Called a foot and ankle specialist who got me in that day. He identified condition as gout prescribed MethylPREDNISolone Tablets 4mg dose pack. Instructed to take initial dose at once with my dinner meal. The pain, swelling, discomfort subsided quickly and by next morning little discomfort remained. Completed the course of medication over the six days but condition was resolved in two days. This medication worked very well for me."

"Fantastic. After the first three doses of the first day of six pills I could tell pain has subsided. After 24 hours and six pills from the first day waking up it was about 80% better less pain, inflammation, and redness had gone down immensely. If it worked that good on the first day the next five days it should be completely gone very soon. I would certainly recommend this skip this a 10 out of 10"

"At the time I took the first dose, I could barely walk. The first evening I slept without pain. Within 36 hours, I had recovered 95% range of movement with no pain & walked 3 miles. I did not notice any side effects."

"I just started with gout a year ago, and took no meds aside from OTC. Nearly shut my life down. I had a bad one last month that is still ongoing. Diet changes, everything but this cycle from was from toe to thumb to ankle. I went to urgent care when I thought my ankle would burst. I was on prednisone. It worked well, but when it wears off...I went to ER and got methylprednisone. I just finished two-day cycles and was 95% better, but I woke up with the cycle restarting in my big toe. not as bad, but it's definitely there. I'll continue the dosage and hope it clears."

"5yrs ago I started belching 24-7, belly felt so full to gas pains in my back, my knee then swelled up, bottom of my back killing me, then both feet got lil pockets under the skin and underneath of my big toes(both feet) and lil toes to my wrists aching into arms, then ankles started hurting. It was a feeling I never had before. The tops of my feet burning so bad which I put ice on them. I could not walk!I feel so bad for people with gout because I know what it feels like and healthy as I have been until I got gout. I was 39, jogging 10 miles a day, pushing grandson 2 weeks old in a jogger which he has never left!. My doctor test me and gout I had. Prednisone works wonders,i t was an hour and 15 mins and the swelling was gone in feet, everywhere, the pockets of crystals gone. It's been almost 5 yrs today and 2nd outbreak and I'm headed to get Prednisone.This time is worse than my very first time but eating and drinking right is why I have only had 2 outbreaks! This 1 hit fast too fast."

"This medicine is helpful when gout attacks occur. I am still looking for something to keep gout at bay. Taking allopurinol is not keeping it away for good. This medicine gives quick relief, but it still returns to feet, toes, and top of foot. I have not noticed any side effects. My doctor prescribed it to keep the meds on hand, and at the first sign of flare-up, start taking the meds."
