Knee pain and PMR?

I have pain behind my knees. Worse in the morning and if I continue to keep moving it lets up in the afternoon. My Rheumatoid dr was at a loss. Said she didn’t know if is related or not. I was diagnosed August of 2023. Started at 20 mg and currently at 3 mg. My pain travels. One day it my hips and glutes and another day neck and shoulders. Knee and clavicle pain are new to me though. Maybe in the last month I have started to experience this pain. I just assume it’s another quirk of this strange disease.

@bren0718 I do have pain behind my knee. Especially my right knee. It’s also in my hamstring my right hamstring at times and it goes to the side of my knee and also to my calf which is so stiff that it feels like I have a Charlie horse in the calf, since I was diagnosed with PMR last February prednisone has helped greatly and I’m also on actemra infusions but I feel like this is a tricky and mysterious disease. It seems to travel around. In the summer. I was having major stiffness, and I assumed it was Achilles tendinitis in my left leg that went on for a couple months now that leg seems better, but my right leg is bothering me. I had none of these issues before being diagnosed with PMR.
