Suggest Remedy For Sleeplessness
I was diagnosed with neuroma and the doctor gave me steroid injection. I am still feeling pain after 2 days. And on top of that I am not able to sleep. My question is does steroid injection cause insomnia. And how does will the steroid help ease the pain with my feet? Thank you.

Hi,
Steroids can cause a mania with sleeplessness. It is quite dose dependent and if you are giving steroids IN ONE AREA, only a little bit is used. Pain, however, is a pretty common cause of lack of sleep there are many medicines for pain that is quite localized.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
