Can PMR present in the clavicle too?

Someone else mentioned Actemara, but it’s not FDA approved, so I doubt my Rheumatologist will let me try it. She’s really wanting me to try Kevzara, to help me taper off steroids, but the increase of getting Cancer isn’t something I’m interested in. It has a lot of other potential side effects as well. I did try methotrexate in 2023, but it didn’t work for me. I was on it 6 months and wasn’t able to go below 5mg and the pain was really bad on 5.

Actemra is FDA approved for inflammatory arthritis, which I have. However, some doctors are able to get approval for use with PMR on certain patients who are having trouble getting off prednisone.
