yes, a course of prednisone, usually given as you described does make sense. Afterall, that is what is used in an injection, not including the anesthetic which is usually also included

the bioavailability of the pills vs the injection will be MUCH less and systemic rather than targeted, so it is likely not to be as effective, but hey, might as well give it a try..side effects of a course of prednisone should be nothing..just get off aspirin type drugs ahead of time as the risk of bleeding is increased

let us know if you try it, and if you get any benefit from it

I had 2 courses of Prednisone. It made absolutely no difference.
