PMR is mainly in the shoulders, neck, and hips, so it could be that you also have PMR. I made the mistake of thinking that my problems were just due to getting older, and I suffered quite a bit unnecessarily for about a year, plus I risked my vision. If you start feeling better from the prednisone fairly soon it would be a good sign that you have temporal arteritis and PMR. Maybe other people have experience with your symptoms such as hearing loss, tinnitus, etc.
