@jabrown0407 Who knows whether I was diagnosed correctly. Whatever I had is gone. Thank goodness.

@tatiana987 I went to my AI tool and asked it what you possibly did have that was inflammation based in your wrist, very painful, treatable with a steroid injection and short course of oral steroids, as well as being confused with PMR. My AI tool told me about RS3PE (Remitting Seronegative Symmetrical Synovitis with Pitting Edema) which apparently is often a discussed in the same differential Dx as PMR per my AI tool. A differential Dx is a working Dx that helps support a requested test while they are searching for the actual Dx. There is no test that identifies PMR. PMR is a default Dx, meaning that if you fail a bunch of other tests then PMR is Dx by default.
You were treated correctly and you don't have the pain any longer, that is the good news.
