Will a steroid injection help neuropathy pain?

Very interesting regarding steroid injections for neuropathies.
The question is: for those of you who have a peripheral neuropathy (pain, tingling etc in the FEET) where on your body did you receive the injection?
Reply greatly appreciated.

Yes. I have 3 different nural tube defects and an abundance of nerve damage from surgeries. For the last 18 years I have been receiving injections for the nerve pain associated with all this and it does help. Normally the relief can last from weeks to months, it just depends on the type of injection given. If you are in excruciating pain, any relief is beneficial. In the meantime, Try not to think about the pain. Occupy yourself so that you don't obsess about pain. Think positive thoughts. If you obcess and complain it really does make things worse. Also, movement is medicine. Yoga, stretching, etc. From a nursing standpoint, that is why we always want to get our patients up and get them moving. See, I bet y'all thought it was because we wanted to torture you, but that isn't it at all!
Use ice and heat and alternate every 15 minutes.

For how long does the steroid injection help the neuropathy pain? Hours, days, weeks?

I received a steroid injection five days ago for a neck/back injury. Since two days after the injection, my neuropathy in my feet is virtually non-existent. While the numbness remains, I can climb right out of bed in the mornings without the severe pain I was experiencing previously. Though the injection was not administered to reduce the neuropathy pain, I'm extremely pleased with the unintended results.

What were your symptons of Neuropathy pain. Thanks Mike

It does for me. I was having pretty bad neuropathy pain until I got a shot last Friday. It stopped the pain pretty much immediately. Doesnt work for everyone but its worth trying.
