Will oral prednisone help the pain of achilles tendonitis? i've had the pain for 2 days now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prednisone is effective in most inflammatory conditions. However, side effect could be an issue. If there is no contraindication for taking an NSAID such as ibuprofen, naprosen, etc., I would rely on this med first.
