Prednisone is definitely one the most potent anti-inflammatories. The side effects are tremendous but that usually comes with prolonged use. (Trust me I have endured many of them due to extended use.) They are not to be taken lightly, but most physicians are very cautious with their use. They have truly been my lifesaver at times. Talk to your MD about your concerns and weigh it against your current lifestyle. Best of luck!
