Comment:
Was given a shot of this due to severe lower back spasming. Tylenol 4, Percocet, baclofen, zanaflex, flexeril.... All provided moderate 3-4 hour relief (not taken at same time, but problem solving). Shot of Decadron has lasted 12 hours already with just mild side effects. Nausea, mood swing, fatigue. I am not sure how long it will be effective, but it amazed me. Saved me an ER trip.

Comment:
The Dr gave me a shot of this in my arm today to help relieve my terrible sore throat that I have had for 4 days. My sore throat had left me unable to sleep, eat, or talk. Within 2 hours, relief was evident. I just seem to be a bit sleepy, but that may be due to a recent lack of sleep. The injection site had a pretty good sense of burning pain a few minutes after the shot, but it has now disap
