Hey @tillysam that's awesome news that your pain has subsided. But what bloody nuisance having to go through all that period of pain. I was lucky (I guess) in that mine came on relatively quickly and became quite severe quickly - walking became very difficult. I;ve been on the Prednisone for about a month now - initially 25mg, now down to 20 mg and there's definitely positive progress. Never pain free, but definitely manageable and improving. I certainly consider myself to be very fortunate. Take care
