Spinal steroid injections while on Prednisone

I had them about 2 mths ago because I have similar back issues & I was convinced my back caused the pain. It confirmed I had PMR because they were of no help to my pain. I had to wean off oral pred. to get injections. My rheumatologist says 15-20 mg is standard dose & you are pretty low. No idea if this is any help. Maybe your injections will work.

It has been hard for me to determine what is truly back pain and what is PMR. Thank you for sharing your experience. Every bit of info helps us make better decisions and pose smarter questions to our medical care team. I think it is sad you had to have the injection to find out if you had PMR. I just had high Sed rate and CRP and Prednisone worked like a miracle after 24 hours on it.
