For me, the pain for PMR did not reduce at all after onset. The only thing that made the pain go away completely was prednisone. Also, for me, the pain was symmetrical which is a sign of PMR. Both thighs, triceps, biceps and traps. Hope this helps. Best of luck my friend. Keep me posted.

I had the thighs also the worst of all of the other symptoms. Prednisone was the only relief and I tried everything.

Find all these comments very helpful...does seem to be a different challenge for everyone. For me it was close to 3 weeks before the prednisone did anything.
Good luck to all of us.
