HI @art43 ha ha - i have a running joke at work about using "military time" so 1400 = 2pm , correct ? and i just saw cocktail napkins that say "autocorrect is my worst enema"! LOL
Waiting till 2 pm for pain to go away seems unacceptable ! are you retired ?
I am very interested in your comment below, I also now have pain in both thumbs , which i never had before ( and also upper arms)! So in your case and others who are recently replying did you have OA BEFORE PMR ? - is the explanation that PMR can heighten a previously unDx -arthritis ? Cause it ? worsen it ? art43 and @usmwp111 - have you had Xrays , or other imaging ? My Inflammatory markers are all normal since initial high dose of Prednisone alleviated by 100% all morning stiffness and pain.- i have tapered to 5.5 mg Prednisone/day
"Since SED test is now in normal range, rheumy says we are now no longer treating PMR with prednisone, and now we need to continue tapering and deal with osteopoarthritis as causing current hand issues." Thanks all for continuing to update about distal pains !
