is methylpredisolone causing this pain?

[jazzynia]

After an acute MS flare I always go the hospital to get an IV - 1 gram a day of methylprednisolone for 3 days to halt the flare. Then I'm discharged. After 2 days that I have been discharge my skin starts to hurt and it gets so tende No one can touch me cause it causes me so much pain. It feels like a bad sunburn!! This feeling would last me about 3 days.everytime I ask Dr why they have a clueless look. I would like to know why this happens? And if anyone has had my same experience? Please share.

I have found I often feel like I've been beaten by a baseball bat after having IVSM but I thought that was just me. So you aren't alone with the tender feeling but I don't get the sunburnt feeling.

Karry.

I haven't experienced this after IV Steriods but have dealt with it as an MS symptom. Sometimes the skin on my back hurts so bad I can't stand to be touched and have to tolerate my clothes. So you aren't the only one to have this. Why you deal with it at this time could be from the stress or just the exacerbation.
