@shannonjp. Yes I’ve gone through and am going through the discomfort and symptoms you described. I completed my course of prednisone at the end of Nov. 2023. Aches and pains are pretty much the new normal, but they’re subsiding. I take acetaminophen less often, I ache less often, my muscle strength and stamina are returning. I’m being patient with myself and hope you’ll be patient t too. Things do get better. Remember prednisone was masking all of this and now ‘we’re on our own’. Remain positive and be in good health.

Thank you for this contribution. I’ve been looking for someone with my experience and yours is about identical. Finished prednisone last November, 2023 and same body experiences. Up and down but flexible compared with full on PMR. Stiff upper legs and hips waning faster and mostly gone. Stiff upper arms and shoulders a bit more persistent but I can tell it’s moving in the right direction. If I do too much one day because I’m feeling great, the next day I am utterly stonked! I swim daily and have some physio exercises for my arms. Patience….
