Muscles don't seem able to repair themselves.

I hope you will also be able to consult a rheumatologist. My first gp also sent me for X-rays and mri. I had pt and massive NSAIDs which didn’t do much. It wasn’t until I went to another gp who sent me to a rheumatologist that I was correctly diagnosed and put on prednisone which resolved all my symptoms. Now tapering off the prednisone and still feel fine. Good luck!

yes. I pursued something wrong with my shoulders prior to my diagnosis. took several months to make all those appointments and a trip to emergency. I finally self diagnosed myself and convinced my Rhumy. I went to Mayo Phoenix for my Rheumatologist. Dr. Michael Pham. He was great. Basically ran every test that could be ran and told me what it wasnt. But steroids worked. I was on them 6 months and off. 2 years ago. I have had two small flares which I treated with a 5 day pack and they were gone. But as I was saying being 72 does not necessarily leave me pain free. But I feel good.
