I have had streoids for spondloythesus for years. Neuropathy started being a issue i has steroid shot at my spine clinic and he told me it wouldnt help the neuropathy. I moved this year and 3 weeks ago i had one that relieved most pain and tingling ftom back toes before i left the clinic. Dr said it wouldnt help numbness. I already have tingling in my toes and pain occassionally in my back. I suppose everyone is different
