Hi there, Im a 30 year old male and had surgey 6 months ago on my upper arm for nerve damage. I still have bruising so i finally went back to the dr and he put me in medrol. Disnt say why. I looked up what medrol is used for and i see its for autoimmune diseases. My mother has lupus should i be concerned that i do too?
