I am encouraged by so many of you that have been able to exercise without pain. Unfortunately, exercise even mildly, seems to increase my pain for the moment. I am working very hard to taper my prednisone but just had to increase back up to 20 mg following a few days of mild exercise. My pain is primarily in my hips and low back. This disease hits us all somewhat differently so I am very thankful for all of your shared experiences. It is very helpful to hear what has worked for you. Praying that remission is in our future!
