Hi Pat -
I would question the doctor or consider a second opinion. The general recommendation at a minimum is a decreasing dosage (tapering). The several references I've read are for a 10 day minimum dosing. I am not a doctor but have a number of references to papers by noted authorities in the field as well as physicians who discuss the issues and why the duration and tapering of medication. If you do a search on this message board for steroids you should find a number of discussions about just this topic with reference links.
