PMR flare -Shoulder and neck pain..and headaches

Well that’s reassuring. Although I’m sorry you had the same issue. I keep getting stuck at 8 but I did go back up to 8.5 and that has helped. Also I missed my Kevzara dose last week because I had an emergency out of town and forgot about it. So I think the Kevzara is really helping. This pain in my neck was new to me so it was concerning. Thank you.

What I found helpful was my doctor's suggestion to try a heat bag on the new aches in the neck and upper back. After applying a microwave wheat heat bag to the pain a couple of times a day, the pain there was very much reduced. The usual pain spots took longer to come good, with the medication being the only thing that improved them. Everyone is different, but something as simple as a heat bag can help in some cases.
