It’s been a while since I contributed on the PMR threads due to the tapering going well. To recap my tapering from 10mg I have been dropping 1mg every five weeks and has been predominantly pain free other than my R knee which has been X-rayed but no results yet. I am now on 5mg and dropped to that eleven days ago but am experiencing quite a bit of pain (scale of 6) in my L shoulder from first thing of a morning. It (and my knee) does ease off during the day but the shoulder pain remains although it is bearable. I do not take any pain relief at all, my choice. I am hopeful that it will eventually settle down before I get to reducing to 4mg. Seeing the rheumatologist on the 27th October and will discuss it then. Keep safe everyone.
