Welcome @froehlich22, Sorry to hear the COVID vaccine triggered your PMR. I've had 2 occurrences of PMR but it wasn't caused by the vaccine and thankfully it's currently in remission. I'm assuming you were started on prednisone to help with the inflammation and pain. You might find the following discussions helpful:

Has your doctor started you on prednisone or an alternative medication?

Yes I was started on Prednisone. Prior to my diagnosis of PMR, I went into Rhabdomyolysis. That was the very start of this journey.
