Im seeing the doctor this morning. I’ve had many of the terrible pain associated with PMR for 6 weeks. No hip or leg pain, extreme pain in my hands, I do have osteoarthritis but never pain like this.
My blood tests are normal.
Last night I slept like a baby and no pain this morning.
Im thinking of starting prednisone for fear of giant cell arteritis which killed him after a very long illness.
