I’m 58, with no other known issues except PMR. About 18 months ago I started experiencing stiffness and pain in one finger. Doctor told me likely trigger finger and wanted to put a splint on it. A couple of weeks later it speed to all fingers on my left hand. Much worse in morning. A month later, I began experiencing debilitating symptoms in my shoulders and hips. While inflammatory markers were low, I was quite dysfunctional at that time. 20 mg of Prednisone solved all symptoms, but came with new ones. (Ex. Glucose, blood pressure, liver enzymes, etc). I tapered from 20 to 10 mg. Side effects all along the way. Including stiffness and pain in left hand and fingers. Shaking hands with others hurt. With the benefit of Kevzara, I’m now down to 2mg. Main side effect is left hand fingers discomfort worse in morning. Hopefully, when I reach 0 mg prednisone, the finger pain/stiffness will subside. We’ll see.
