Having to battle with PMR/Prednisolone, Operation for Spinal Stenosis and now, abscess under rear upper tooth which takes me to the Hospital-referred by my Dentist-had a Zolendronic Acid infusion in March. Operation went well on 23rd Sept and today I had my first swim-250 mtrs- for a long time -No pain felt. But for once I got my Pill boxes mixed up -been on 10mg for some weeks whilst all this going on, and took 2 doses of 10mg-1x at 6.30 and 2nd at 9am.I do not wish to have slow reduction- and thinking of going back to 10mg tomorrow and taking it easy for the day! possibility some Pain killers also . What say you - please comment, John -try to be a young 80!

You're fine John - just go straight back to the normal dose! And enjoy probably feeling very well for 24 hours! Why do you need painkillers?
in reply to PMRpro
Thank you for your timely reply PMRpro which I read as you wrote. Very well, the swim went very very well, and I thought it was me and the Spine Op!- mind you I also noted that I was slightly agitated ,could not settle for 36hrs. The Pain Killers? thought my tooth and its abscess might react but not so. Let everything settle down and back to reducing - could do with a Holiday! John
