Welcome @melissa24, I never experienced leg cramps with my PMR when I was on prednisone but @terryartist, @lsjaustin, @dadcue, @hopeinal and others have mentioned having leg cramps while on prednisone and may have some suggestions to share with you.

My wife gets leg cramps frequently when she doesn't drink enough water during the day in case you haven't already tried that. Have you discussed the cramps with your doctor or rheumatologist?

@johnbishop Water water water. Pickle juice. Ask your Dr about veins and arteries in your legs. I have pmr taking everything 3 years now can’t get to 5 prednisone and kevzara. They can scan your legs and check blockages I severe blockages going for 3 surgery next week. Check google leg cramps and blockages.Good luck. David
