Hi Teri
Thanks so much for sharing this information! I am now convinced the pain under my arms is PMR because every time I start to ramp down, the pain comes back and likewise when I ramp up it goes away. I was worried it was something more serious at first, but I think it’s PMR. I hope the PT is able to help your shoulder, etc.. I’ve always found PT to be extremely helpful.Thanks for the recommendation of the infrared heating pad. I’ll give it a try.

Hi @juneh You are welcome! My former PCP told me he missed diagnosing my PMR because my symptoms weren't textbook. If only our bodies knew they should follow the rules! I've been going to PT for nine monhs for my shoulder now and it's showing some improvement. Hope you feel better. Maybe consider asking your doctor about a slower taper, like down 2.5 mg instead of 5 mg?
