Isn't it strange how when we feel the slightest thing needs attention on a truck we're all over it......ourselves ???? not so much This is so true. My personal vehicle gets the wheels driven off it. I broke my hand a couple years ago and denied it was broken til I almost passed out from pain. My truck makes a noise and I panic and investigate it til I find problem.

other dog Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 Well, I went to the doctor Saturday. He wrote me a prescription for this- Start off taking 6 pills a day for 4 days, then 4 a day for 4 days, then 2 a day for 4 days. It's still swollen but it doesn't hurt near as bad as it did.

The shed guy delivered the shed today, it's nice. I would have rather had it around back, in front of that big chestnut oak, but it would not clear the power line you can barely see behind it. I could have had the shed guy try to go all the way around the other end and get it there, but the ground is soft and it was raining at the time. It's a lot bigger than the old one too, even has a hay loft. It has a loft storage area at each end, and it's open in the middle. Nice. It was over $3000, but I don't remember exactly how much. I wrote the shed guy a check for $2900 today, but we paid some on it when we first looked at it.

Mark T Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I'm like'n the shed. Those pills are a steroid. Once you start the prescription you can't stop.

Brocky Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I am thinking that is what they gave me for something a few years ago.. I remember you had to take all of them in descending quantity.. 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Ike Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Prednisone is a steroid. It works in conjunction with an antibiotic but technically isn't one. If prescribed on its own, it is used to treat inflammation which clearly you have quite a bit of. Might be gout, might be that you tweaked it and didn't notice it at the time (often we wont if we are super busy and adrenaline is running high). If the doc didn't prescribe an antibiotic to go with it, than they probably don't believe that you have an infection in your knee. I've had one before, in what is called the bursa sack, an area of fluid inside your knee. If prescribed with an antibiotic, it helps the antibiotic by reducing inflammation, improving blood flow, providing pain relief and overall allows the antibiotic to do its job and kill the infection. Good luck. As others have said, take all medication as prescribed for AS LONG as prescribed. Don't just toss stuff when you start feeling better. Especially an antibiotic. It needs to run its course. If you don't finish the script, the infection can reappear AND will now be resistant to antibiotics. 1 Quote Ed Smith1957 B85F 1242 "The General Ike" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch your diet on prednisone. It'll give you an appetite with no end. You'll never get full. Also it made me very hot headed. I ended up in a few fights when I was on it. Makes a temper very bad.

Brocky Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Also if you are a diabetic your Morning sugar numbers will go UP!! The next morning after I had the shot and first dose of pills I topped 300.. By the next day it dropped into the 200's and the third week (single pills) in the high 100's. Took another week after I was done to drop back into the 130-150 range.. 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) I'm liking that shed also. We have a few suppliers selling various designs that they will drop right in your yard tomorrow. I've got a little tin shack now for the mower but want a bigger one like yours(or bigger) but you know my township. I can't have any more "outbuildings"....ugh. I tried to get them to allow a free standing shed, but nope, it's all the same to them....it's a building, period. Only way around it is build a garage onto the house and that's a bit pricey. Good luck with the knee! Edited December 18, 2020 by Freightrain Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Good luck with the knee! Thanks Larry. The shed came from Old Hickory Buildings and Sheds, they made it up 29 north of Lynchburg in Nelson Co, but they make them and have dealers all around. This one was supposed to have gone to a dealer's lot in Danville. I went up there on a Saturday when they were closed just to look and a salesman happened to stop by. He sold me this one as being from the dealer lot in Lynchburg so it would be close enough to get the free delivery. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Bullheaded Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Nice shed Other Dog! As others have said, just pay attention to anything changing while taking the Prednisone. I'm not allergic to many things.....but I had a reaction to that stuff. Got sores, kinda like cankers all over in my mouth and gums and a bad case of the squirts out the bottom end. Then had to take another med to "firm" me back up, LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
