I'm down t 3 mgs of Prednisone and also on Kevzarra. Unfortunately, my hand pain remains excruciating. The tapering makes it worse. From what I understand, 30% of PMR sufferers experience hand pain. I'm not positive, but I don't think it is Carpal Tunnel or RA as there seems to be a direct link to tapering. It's constant, though worse at night and in the morning. I don't want to increase the dosage of prednisone, so trying to tough it out.
