Hi Ripley….My initial symptom in March was bilateral upper arm, hip and thigh pain. My labs were normal, but the dr said that since the prednisone immediately took away my symptoms, she suspected PMR rather than fibro. I did have some morning pain initially but now am pain and stiffness free in the mornings. (Actually, that’s my best time of the day symptom-wise). As the day progresses, I have leg stiffness/weakness/heaviness and minor shoulder pain but not the same type of pain I had previously. My leg pains may be related to my spinal stenosis for which I’ll be seeing my spine Dr on Tuesday. This is my 3rd day of tapering from 6mg to 5 mg of methylprednisolone.
