Relief, I did not have a lot of discomfort when I started. So relief was more mental than physical. Keep in mind it takes up to 3 months to be effective (they say).
Good luck
PS: I was at 8mg prednisone, am at “0” now , self taper. I have had 9 injections (18 weeks) and am 79 yo woman.

With just 2 injections, so far, I haven't yet felt relief from the PMR, but having warmer serum was a big help with the injection pain.
