Clicks and pops in and around shoulder anyone else ?

I had been in the 60mg for about 3 days then they did the biopsy. Hopefully it's not a false negative if 3 days of prednisone skued the results, but they felt pretty confident I was clear. Fingers crossed. Timing it appears is everything.

@mwhite6262 I'm sure you know, a sign of gca is the really bad temple headaches and jaw claudification (can't open your mouth wide ). Along with the sides of your neck.
Normally pmr is fixed with 15 or 20 mg. So 40 seems pretty high.
I hope they get it sorted for you. I did 60 for a mnth, then 50 for a mnth, then 40, 30, 20 each a month, then down by 1 every month till I hit 0. But I had a flare, ... been doing this for 7 years (mine started at 62 also) that's why I'm on kevzara trying to get completly off of it. (I've got other posts about that) but I'm on a 1 month break because of bloodwork, and am hurting (even though I'm at 5mg of pred)
