Hi, thanks for the reply. I’m getting the jaw pain now and headaches. I don’t suffer headaches normally. ( everything else hurts ) 😂
I’ve been on prednisone for bouts of back issues and it always helped, but that was years ago.

I hope you can impress your doctors with the urgency of this and get them to prescribe prednisone. If you have any trouble with your vision, best to go to an Emergency Room immediately. I hope you get the care and treatment you deserve.

Claudation of my jaw was a symptom plus terrible terrible headache
Luckily my GP put me on a lot of prednisone and then booked temporal artery surgery which revealed CGA
I was really in bad shape the prednisone was a miracle
