Some PNs are inflammatory. Prednisone is only one way to
reduce it.

NSAIDs --esp aspirin-- seem to also help some with inflammatory issues. Hence the "AlkaSeltzer" success some of us have to reduce symptoms.

Antioxidants are also helpful. Grapeseed extract being one
that has a long history of benefits. 200-300mg a day.
The Ilex in Biofreeze is also helpful this way...it is a powerful antioxidant, and gets thru the skin because of the gel base, and helps nerves that way too.
