Thanks for your reply. I think the doseage of prednisone was because the doctor I saw really doesn’t know what I am experiencing and is just calling it musculoskeletal pain. I am keeping a daily flow sheet of pain, ROM for upper extremities. Etc so I have some data to take with me. I am hoping I can get some better imaging like cat scan or mri to help rule out other issues. I will just have to wait it out. At least I am finding some good info and forums to follow for advice from people who have been through this before. My next appointment is in 3 weeks. Earliest I could get.
