I am afraid the pain will never end.

I am excited and almost afraid to be hopeful about the Kevzara. I hope to have a game back one day. Being in top of it would be icing on the cake. Lol. I am only 2.5 weeks in to the Kevzara and am chomping at the bot to taper the prednisone. But, I am still in pain.l at 12 mg. Not agony. Pain. Don't know if I should.

I take monthly Actemra infusions. I didn't feel any relief for a couple of months. How long have you been at 12 mg.?

Please note: it takes a few to 13 weeks for the Kevzara to take effect. You need to give it time to work, so you may not be ready to taper the prednisone yet.
Yes, we all want off the prednisone, but don’t rush to taper until you have more Kevzara under you belt, so to speak. The more pain you are in, the more tension your body is in.
Let it have some peace, relax and heal.
Lastly, find a PT, trainer or massage therapist to help your body.
