Seven years ago, I had been told I had polymyalgia rheumatica . I have taken prednisone for that lenght of time, in different amount from 10 mgs to now 5mgs a day. I do not have pain in my joints, only in my muscles. In the first few years the pain was in my upper back, and lower back area. Now it's mostly in the ( rump) area, painful to set and walk. My rheumathologist has now prescribed 15 mgs of methotrexate once a week ,on top of the daily 5mgs of prednisone.
Has anyone ever had this desease for this lenght of time?
And what medicine helped you overcome it, if you are better.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Mimosa
