This caught my attention in the link Mike sent. To me, it is worth researching for PMR. Especially if Kenalog relieved you of all PMR pain soon after injection and did it using a smaller amount of corticosteroid. (Maybe requiring less than Prednisone because it breaks down slower in the blood and liver??)

A Kenalog injection every two months seems much easier than oral Prednisone every day. A convenient time to bloodwork too.

Hopefully research is being done. What does your doctor say?

Best wishes.

@stonewheel - I haven't seen my doctor yet about it, but I'm going to schedule a follow-up with my rheumatologist to discuss. My allergy doc said I could get a Kenalog injection every 3 months for allergy symptoms, it'll be interesting to see if the relief happens again after my next shot. Keeping fingers crossed.
