Would cortisone shots help for my whiplash spine injury, i am losing the fight to try stay positive, being in pain i just can`t take it much longer?

Neck pain: Cortisone shots are a mainstay for the treatment of neck pain. Whiplash injury is an outdated term and really doesn't describe the type of problem that you are suffering from. See a neurosurgeon to help explain the problem and to develop a focused treatment plan to reduce or eliminate the pain.
