Prednisone does NOT necessarily remove all pain for all people. Many people enjoy being on it because it does alleviate some or all pain. ( it does not help me with pain at all, but drops very negative side effects) I’m off of it now completely. The side effects are gone ( thank God), but the CRP and Sed rate are super high again, somewhat explaining the pain.? I’m not sure where/what to do now. But any joy there was in my life left in April, 2022, with the coming of PMR( thank you Pfizer and Moderna)

Please talk to your doctor about trying Low Dose Naltrexone for your pain. It might help. There is loads about it on the net and YouTube. Also, MSM which doesn't require a script , is good for lowering at least one of the cytokines responsible. Look it up, too.

One of the theories about PMR is that it follows infections. I wonder if the number of PMR cases has increased dramatically due to the last couple of years of COVID. I also wonder if the Covid vaccinations and boosters are not the cause of PMR, but the general infection rate of the population is the culprit. I suppose it will be years before we have any answers.
