Summary
This study tests whether a 6-day low-dose steroid (Medrol Dosepak) can help reduce pain, nausea, and the need for opioid painkillers after foot or ankle surgery. About 180 adults having surgery at Emory will take either the steroid or a placebo. The goal is to see if this simple, short-term treatment can improve recovery and lower opioid use.
