In the last 3 months, I have had two steroid epidurals and a 6-day pack of Medrol for back pain. In those months I have gained over 20 pounds even though I am eating healthy. I've had to go to an 800 calorie day diet to stop gaining.
Is there anything that can counteract the effects of this medication? Also, can anyone who has been through this tell me how long they it took for this medicine to get out of their system and their weight get back to normal?
Thanks!

Wow, you posted this a long time ago and I wish I would have seen it then because a year prior to your post I was going through the same thing that you were. I gained weight too, but found out after two years of nightmare-ness, that it was actually Candida overgrowth from the injections, not the injections themselves, that caused my weight gain. Once I got rid of the Candida (very hard work), I lost the 20 pounds and feel great! ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** private e-mails not allowed **
