I was diagnosed with Polymyalgia two years ago. I was on 20 mg. at the beginning of treatment, but I am currently only taking 2mg of prednisone.
In the past four months, I have
experienced some of what you described. Muscle cramping and spasms in very strange places…like left of my mid-back and lower abdomen. Fortunately, it usually doesn’t last long.
I will ask my excellent Rheumatologist about this strange phenomenon.
Best wishes with your journey.

Glad I’m not alone. I too am at 2 mg. Hopefully moving to 1.5 in next few days. This is such a rough time for each of us, and so little information about all the symptoms. Thank goodness for this site. I’m having some vision issues on occasion too. I went in for sed rate and C reactive levels. All very normal so unlikely to be GCA, but that’s my biggest concern. Having had a bout of that during this nightmare of 3 years. Take care everyone
