@keelin, I'm sorry to hear the prednisone didn't relieve your pain. Maybe you have a condition other than polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). There are many conditions that mimic PMR that have different treatments.

Have you seen a rheumatologist or other specialist?

I have been to TWO different rheumatologists. Both concur that I have PMR. Both prescribe prednisone ( different exact ones), and both don’t appear to know much of anything about the how, why, where, or when.
