<p>Injected Prednisone</p><p>My doctor in Costa Rica recommended this. It worked well for me 5 years ago when I had a major "attack" and ended up in a hospital. How can I find a U.S. hospital that will accept an international prescription? Apparently it can only be administered inpatient.<br />Thanks</p>

@jnwwells, other PMR members are talking about injected prednisone in this discussion and may have suggestions for you. I moved your question here:

Is it possible for your doctor in Costa Rica to make a referral for you to a hospital near you?
