[|Human|] Taking Methylprednisolone for lower back pain and on day 1 (6 tablets). I also have a small local fungus underneath one of my toes. Its been there for over 1 year - took medication and slowly starting to get better. Can I still take Methylprednisolone with a small case of toe fungus?
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case. Methylprednisolone has more side effects than good effects for back pain so avoid it. For toe fungus take antifungal, methylprednisolone may aggravate it. Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor. You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Hope this answers your query.
