Hello @bcstew, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm sorry to hear about your complications using prednisone. Having 2 occurrences of PMR I can understand the need for relief from the pain. Have you discussed the complication with using prednisone with your rheumatologist? I'm wondering if they may have an alternative.

No, I spoke to my GP and she said that other than painkillers like Tylenol with Codeine, Prednisone was the only thing would help.
