Hello, Gray! How are you?

It really depends on the person and the type/severity of the arthritis. Steroids can sometimes help with the inflammation that arthritis can cause, which in turn, can reduce the pain.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne and weight changes.

Has this medication been prescribed for you?
