Where have you experienced pain due to PMR?H

I just started the maintenance dose of prednisone yesterday. No other changes in meds. I had my most severe pain in my shoulders, but it seems to travel to different areas, including my tailbone area, now. as well as my wrists, neck, elbows, fingers. Don't really know what to expect, but this sure is different from anything I've ever had!

Mine started from an increased dose of Crestor from what I had been taking for years. I stopped the Crestor after 20 days but my pain remained for over 5 months. When my PCP suggested that I might have PMR and if so my discomfort should subside in 3-4 days with prednisone. 15 mg/ day for 3 days and I felt normal again. Slowly being weaned so as not to get a relapse with blood draws ever 3-4 weeks to check send rate and CRP levels…..good luck

Absolutely agreed. It’s just horrible.
