Hello @dermnurse68 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry to hear that you experience constant pain. It sounds like you are a good advocate for yourself in that you feel you know when you may need to consult another doctor.

It sounds like you are not wanting to go back on steroids due to the side effects, so I am curious if you have other options in mind or if you are looking to see what another doctor may recommend?

My rheumatologist said that since steroids really didn’t help with pain she wouldn’t recommend them again
She mentioned a drug ( forgot the name) that hasn’t been approved for PMR but for the one that causes problems with vision.
Also, I think it is time for a second opinion.
