Special thanks to all the people who took the time to respond to my post. So you all know my wife has a follow up with her rheumatologist in June. In the meantime she had an appointment with her primary doctor and explained all that she has been through (7 images, orhtho, pain mgmt. doctor, neurologist) once again. Her primary prescribed her 10mg prednisone twice a day. Knock on wood, but she is feeling better !!! Hope this regimen continues to help her. More to follow. God Bless you all.
