Hmm. I've been taking prednisone every 2nd day for years. Now i'm wondering if that is why my operation for spinal stenosis hasn't eliminated my pain. No one has suggested it.

@elizadolittle I think you may be on to something. My spine doctor suggested that what symptoms remained after stenosis treatment was likely PMR. And, after PMR treatment, especially at beginning pred doses, the symptoms that remained were stenosis. The doctors didn't seem to have a way to distinguish between the two. Kind of disheartening.
