Did this happen to you?

I know many people complain of buttocks pain and/or hip pain when they have PMR. It is an interesting topic. Prednisone relieves the pain in the hips and shoulders so people attribute the pain to PMR.

Sometimes piriformis syndrome causes buttocks pain. I have doubts that PMR can cause piriformis syndrome and in the following link, PMR isn't listed as one of the causes.

-------------------
I had severe buttock pain during my time with PMR. It had pain everywhere but in many cases it turned out not to be PMR. Severe spinal stenosis was causing my buttock pain.

I had a spontaneous rupture of a tendon in my hand while being treated for PMR with prednisone. My inflammatory diseases and prednisone were "probable causes" but the surgeon who repaired the ruptured tendon didn't see any evidence that anything caused my tendon to rupture. I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary that would have caused a ruptured tendon.

I do have small tears in my achilles tendon and some other tendons but mostly they are called "age related."
