Brief Answer:
Stop the prednisone
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns.
I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with neck pain. you were prescribed prednisone but when you took it, it caused your face to flush. This is a common side effect from the medication. I would recommend that you not continue taking the prednisone. I would instead recommend that you get physical therapy or massage therapy for the neck. This will work more directly on your problem and help reduce pain.
In summary
1. flushing common with prednisone
2. Stop prednisone
3. Try massage or physical therapy
