HI THANKS FOR YOUR QUERY.
BOTH CORTISONE AND PREDNISONE ARE SISTER DRUGS BELONGING TO SAME FAMILY "STEROIDS".
THE SYMPTOMS IN YOU CAN BE POSSIBLE ARISE OUT AN INADVERTANT ESCAPE OF THE DRUG INTO YOUR SPINAL CORD AND FROM THERE TO CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM ie;BRAIN. SUCH A SCENARIO CAN CAUSE VISUAL HALLUCINATIONS(RIGHT WORD-NOT DELUSION).

STEROIDS CAN HAVE QUITE DISTRESSING SIDE EFFECTS.
ANY INTRA-ARTICULAR INJECTION INTO SPINE HAS TO CONSIDERED ONLY WHEN THERE IS AN ABSOLUTE NEED....AN MRI OF YOUR SPINE WILL BE OF IMMENSE HELP TO ASSESS THE DIAGNOSIS AND THE TREATMENT ASPECT.
I SUGGEST YOU NEED A GOOD INTRAMUSCULAR INJECTION OF A PAIN KILLER EX;DICLONAC 75mg,FOR PROMPT PAIN RELIEF.
THIS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED BY COMPETENT IMMUNOSUPPRESIVE/ANTIINFLAMMATORY DRUGS PREFERABLY BY MOUTH ON A LONG TERM BASIS IN CASE YOU HAVE ANY SERONEGATIVE ARTHRITIS LIKE ANKYLOSING SPONDILITIS WITH OR WITHOUT SURGERY AS REQUIRED.
CONSULT AN EXPERT RHEUMATOLOGIST TO TREAT YOUR HEALTH ISSUE.

CONCLUSIVE OPINION:
YOUR SYMPTOMS ARE MOST LIKELY RELATED TO PREDNISONE.

THANK YOU.
