I woke up one morning and felt sore. Like I had completed a hard workout, lots of squats., etc. The next day I felt like I was hit by a truck. Saw a rheumatologist. She said PMR. She put me on prednisone and I felt fine. After 10 months, she had me taper off. But in the meantime, she started me on methotrexate and folic acid, which I am presently on. When I went off prednisone, the pain start to come back. Not as bad, but some days are better than others. It’s my shoulders and one hip. She now thinks i have RA.
I walk with a slight limp most days. I might be making it sound like I’m worse off than I am. I can walk the dog some days and not others. I was able to play tennis. Not so much right now.
I’m looking for another rheumatologist but it’s hard to get an appointment.
Thanks for your reply.
