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

@bcstew - I'm no medical expert and have no training but a rheumatogist is the specialist when it comes to PMR and similar conditions. If it were me, I would want to see the specialist or at least get a second opinion. Here's some information that may be helpful.
