Wtf!!! My labs are horrible

[Auggie68]

I ran labs. For the hell of it. Funny enough my testosterone panel is not ready yet. I'm on day 3 of a methylprednisolone pack. Could that be the culprit? And any ideas how to get stuff in range.

Why are you taking a Medrol pack?

It seems that you are going through some sort of infection.

Ok. Long answer. I've been dealing with a low back pain for almost a year. So Eventually it started affecting how I stand and my left foot has become painful too. So I went to foot doctor, told them about my back and foot and she said a Medrol pack would have me feeling better. Also blood tests for uric acid has not come back yet. 3 days of a six day pack and back and foot 80% now. But other than that I started feeling like allergies have set in. Sorry for long winded answer. Fyi no Covid

Have you been taking Cialis?

The Medrol pack works great for a while for back pain. Stretching is important also as well as walking daily. I speak from experience.

But do you think my labs values are due to medrol or should I rum them again in a month.
Yes I do take Cialis, but not everyday. But I know what that burning feeling is like. Sometimes I get it sometimes I dont.

No. The Medrol pack does not cause changes in neutrophils. I would do another CBC panel soon.
