Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 regarding the niacin problem. try time release niacin it doesn't cause as much flushing problems. or take 100 mg 2 0r 3 times daily. to prevent flushing one has to do it gradually to let system get used to it. A question.. I had a cortizone treatment for pain had the same flushing problems like 4 times an hour for several weeks then it gradually was less frequently and now I don't have the problem... Is this a common problem with cortizone treatments? The cortizone treatments did not relieve my pain in lower tailbone area of spine caused by pinched nerves. I am on much pain med as surgeon said he couldn't do surgery to relieve pain. He acted if I was making up the pain to get attention.
