How quickly did it take depo-medrone steroid injection to work for your Lupus swelling?

I had a depo-medrone systemic injection for my lupus swelling. I was advised it should take effect 1-2 days, unless I misunderstood. I would be so grateful to know how long this steroid has taken for others to reduce the inflammation.

Hi, it took about 2 days to work for me and I had relief for about 5 or 6 months.
