Sharp pain in hands on certain movements. PMR-related?

Yes, here's to very long and very hot showers! Before diagnosis and steroids someone suggested regular hot tub use. I laughed. . . there's no way I would have been able to get in and out of a hot tub, or any tub for that matter. Even now it would be challenging and probably very funny to watch! I hope you're able to reduce the prednisone soon and that remission is not far off.

Right again on the hot tub suggestion. I have a friend with a big swim spa. It's heated to 95 degrees and has multiple jets. It also has a 5' ladder to negotiate! No way can I do that anymore with PMR.

My new PT location has a walk in, warm water pool. Only caveat is that they can't see me until February 22nd. So I wait, and deplete my hot water tank.

Patience has never been my strong suit, but I certainly have been exercising it lately.

Best wishes to all that our PMR journeys will end with remissions SOON!
