PMR and exercise: What helps you?

I”m 14 months in, got off the prednisone for one week and boom it was back. Pain, neck and shoulders and hips and groin. Back on 5mg., start again. I’m 70, been surfing since I was 13. Throughout it all I continue to surf with some severe shoulder and groin pain making it hard to even stand up. But I’m not giving up now, just keep on driving at it, having some really bad days and then some good ones. But each time I get out the pain decreases and I feel better for hours. I think moving and working the muscles actually helps the pain significantly. I’m looking for a good easy PMR Yoga workout now. Can anyone suggest one?

Suzorand...have you had the c19 vaccine yet? I have had PMR for around 5 years now and had a bad flare up starting last fall into this June of this year... thought it due to stress. I was not trusting the long term effects of the vaccines so wouldn't get it. After some research, I found that PMR will react/flare due to fighting a 'virus'....and TaDa! Got the first Moderna shot and within 3 days my symptoms dropped considerably... funny thing too....my blood markers were normal too before the vaccine shot....hmmm
