How much prednisone are you taking with the infliximab? I assume Crohn's was diagnosed first and then PMR.

I was diagnosed with reactive arthritis at age 32 and PMR at age 52. Are you aware of the diagnosis of spondyloarthritis? "Enteropathic arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, are types of spondyloarthritis."

I started on 15 mg and after three days it was increased to 20 mg. I am on day six. I have had Crohn’s for 12 years. This summer I developed lower back pain and an MRI revealed severe osteoarthritis, stenosis, etc. I saw a neurosurgeon who didn’t suspect ankylosing spondylosis. But, we’ll see what the rheumatologist has to say.
