Hi,

I was just recently diagnosed with PMR. I am currently on 15mg of prednisone down from 20mg.
Most of my pain is in my legs and hips. I am excited that I found a group that I can talk to and gain knowledge from.

Hello @mbm, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I also have PMR but it is currently in remission. You mentioned being at 15mg down from 20mg. Did your rheumatologist suggest a tapering schedule? Are you pain free at 15mg?
