Is it ok to take Methylprednisolone 4mg?

Hi everyone,

I had right hip replacement surgery 08/2024 and about the 12 week postop mark and last week of PT, I started having severe back pain that I had never experienced before even before weight loss. Still 6 months later, I am still dealing with it to the point where I can no longer do my daily 6 mile walks. I?m now about to do more PT, and was put on Tramodal, muscle relaxer and a 6 day Methylprednisolone (1st day 6 tablets, then 1 tablet daily for total of 6 days). I?m worried about the steroids whether or not I should take them. The side effects says it can cause stomach irritation or ulcers. My searching says it?s a steroid, not a NSAID, but is it ok to take? It?s on my chart to not give NSAIDS, but just double checking because it?s happened before. I have to do the same with monitoring seizure meds and what I can?t take.

Thanks
