Are painful swollen hands and fingers a PMR flare?

Off everything since mid February. 3 weeks ago woke up with a swollen right hand and wrist, my dominant hand. No better after using Tylenol and Volteran. I now have sausage fingers and can’t get a ring on. Right now at 707 AM can’t make a fist. I was first diagnosed in January 23 and have no desire to go back on prednisone.

@wilmingtonemperor I'm sorry to about your recent flare up. I'm wondering if it might be something else going on. Here's an article on the topic that might be helpful.

Does your doctor think it's related to your PMR?

That's tough. I would probably do same but still have Somr Symptoms do on 3 mgs daily. Hands and wrists are sore and difficult to use
