Prednisone is actually a steroid (anti-inflammatory) which controls the inflammation of tendonitis (non narcotic) and corrects the problem along with splinting and rest....never heard of addiction to prednisone but I guess anything is possible.....thanks for your concern.......most of my patients complain that it causes them to swell up or make them feel too edgy and the big concern with prednisone over along period of time is bone demineralization, immunosuppression and adrenal gland suppression....along with a hundred other possible side effects (like all meds)
