Off Prednisone but still feeling new type of pain
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: Feb 9 8:26am | Replies (115)Comment receiving replies
@abbeyc I am mostly better. I take a daily lisinopril for BP. (10mg). I take Repatha twice a month injection for cholesterol. Then I take a handful of supplements. I found the turmeric was causing a loose stool. I am mostly pain free. I think at 73 aches and pains must be the norm. I am mentally pretty sharp and physically active. I go to gym every day. Play pickleball. Hiking. Right now my right knee has a catch in it but a month ago it was my left shoulder. Who knows. Not sure which one is better Tylenol or Alleve but Alleve seems to last all day. I hate taking one but I do most mornings.

@tuckerp I have alleve in the house. I’ve been hesitatant to take them due to the intestinal side effects. Why is everything so difficult!
That’s very impressive to hear how physically active you are. It makes me sad that I stopped pickleball 4 years ago. I will always associate pickleball ball with that darn PMR. That’s when and how it all began for me with a mysterious shoulder pain. I dropped out of my pickleball group. A couple weeks later I couldn’t get out of bed. We all know the story. 😞
But I agree it’s important to keep the body moving and build up strength. If I’m not at the gym I’m either taking walks or doing at home yoga/pilates/cardio exercise videos and using my vibration plate.
Let's all just do the best we can and beat this thing

Well said….” Right now my right knee has a catch in it but a month ago it was my left shoulder. Who knows. Not sure which one is better….”
Perfect summary for me right now, although I have not had to take any OTC regularly….only on days I walk the golf course and hike . I’m still on Kevzara every 3 wks.
