Buttock/tailbone pain, sitting or lying down - symptom of PMR?

I had this problem along with the "frozen" shoulder before I was diagnosed and started taking Prednisone. I am trying to get off of said drug after two and a half years and the "pain in the butt" has returned with lots of other muscular tightness and spasms so It looks as though I won't be stopping Prednisone after all.

I am curious about what you mention as "spasms". I am going through butt pain, which I completely understand (like sitting on bleachers for hours and can't stand the pain) but this time I'm having muscle spasms in the butt. Is that typical of PMR pain? I'm trying to decide if I"m dealing with PMR pain or pain from my really screwed up spine. If I hadn't just been diagnosed with PMR in Sept. this would be a no-brainer! I'm supposed to taper tomorrow and I'm thinking maybe that shouldn't be happening. I asked my doctor and his answer was that was a really good question! I don't need compliments - I need answers!
