Hi John...I told you I was crazy...lol
Yes
I started 20 Monday. So we will see. I just realized that when this all started in May and she put me on 20 I was already on 3 --
had been for years for sjogrens RA. So maybe I really need to go to 23. Anyway...the post was really more about the muscle tears. I gave the background to help with answers. Anyway just curious it is not fun
..my leg is not happy this am.
Thanks John for the links. As always I am grateful for your feedback and info.

Based on your description & my fun world of so called "muscle tears," I'd guess because of proximity, it's PMR pain. I'm amazed at what I can do to increase the pain. Hang in.

Hi there, the same thing happened to me.I pump fisted after a playoff hockey goal,instantly felt pain in my shoulder,and went to Dr.
It was a muscle tear.Clinic gave me two shots of Cortisone, better in a week.
I have had Polymyalgia-rheumatica for 2 years, am on 5mgs.
The answer is enough Prednisone to reduce pain and taper slowly,good luck.
