Cortizone is an anti inflamatory drug. Mostly it is used for joints, to ease the pain. I don't see where it would help with PN, since that is "all over"
Being on Cortizone in high doses is also difficult, as it has a a lot of side effects. I would be interested to hear what others say, as I have not heard about using this drug for PN. I have PN and my Doctor has never said anything about that med. Why would a shot work better that the pills? would be something else I would inquire about. You may want to post to MrsD, who has extensive knowledge about PN and treatments used. There may be more that you can do besides that. Maybe research a bit. Hope you find some help for the PN that works for you. Personally, if I can get away without ever using that drug I would. ginnie
