I'm so glad your pain diminished immediately with the prednisone! Hopefully soon, you will be totally off it. I see doctor in about 10 days and now that he has lab report, can be able to diagnose. Everything you experienced with the pain, I have as well. Even the walking which was great and returning to struggle to sit and remove my shoes! Hopefully soon my pain will diminish as well.

I now officially have been diagnosed PMR and have started a 30 day course of Prednisone 15 mg. with tapering doses over the next 6 months. Am feeling better but still have some pain and fatigue although much less. I will see physician in 3 months to evaluate my condition and treatment. Walking, PT, and stretching helps a lot.
