How long has PMR lasted - I'm trying to find the average

Husband diagnosed June 2017 and continues to battle PMR to this day. He has gotten as low as 7mg and is back up to 20mg after having a total knee replacement.
I am finding stress has a major impact on his flare ups.
Good luck!

I am curious to know if your husband had knee problems before he was diagnosed with PMR or did he develop knee problems after he started taking prednisone. I’ve been on prednisone for 2 years and in the last year have developed calf stiffness and achy knees. Walking has become difficult yet I have no problems sitting or sleeping. Does PMR contribute to arthritic problems?
