Thank you! Yes, sent a pretty compelling message to doc saing something has to give. I believe he is going to put me on 20 mg prednisone & see if it helps. If it does, we are then sure it's PMR. I also have moderate osteoarthritis in my back & we have been suspicious what causes what pain. Had low back injections recently & got no relief for my current pain. But had to wean off prednisone for 2 months to get the injections. Back to square one where we hoped mtx. would help, but looks like prednisone is my future again. Also looking at Kevzara. Any knowledge on that?
