4 1/2/yrs PMR. Currently on 5mg, was down 2 1/2mg had a cold slight flare up went up to 5 mg. I play golf walk 18 holes, plus go to the gym and do Circuit training, I realize with PMR I’m going to hurt not matter what. I’m very lucky that I have a small prescription to Norco and on golf days if I’m hurting I take 1/2 Tab. It takes the edge off so that I can play. Tylenol or even Advil does nothing for that deep ache.
I’ll be dam if I’m going to give up what I love to do. I’m 77yrs I’m going to enjoy what years I have. I’m lucky to have a doctor (GP) who understand my needs. She watches out for me.

@curlyqlinda1 in answer to all things golf…..me too.
Are you pain free at anytime? I am pain free with the biologic Kevzara shots, no prednisone.
I have found that my discomfort is at wake up time .(5 am.) I take 2 Tylenol of Arthritis, and by the time I get to to golf course (10am), it’s minimal. I keep the Tylenol with me and take 2 at the turn if need be. Follow bottle with Dr ok. Seems to keep me comfortable.
Me thinks you need to get to pain free state beforehand.
Love my golf too 80yo.
