I was diagnosed in May 22 but didn’t start treatment until June. I really wanted my Orthopedic doctor to weigh in on the diagnosis from my rheumatologist. When the 2 were in complete agreement, I was forced to accept the new reality. I am tapering—down to 15 mg but all of this PMR hip pain is new. I am doing fairly well but definitely notice new pain in the AM and at each taper. It does resolve after I take the prednisone but does make me wonder what life after prednisone looks like. I think we are all learning from each other. Good luck!
