I have had PMR for 6 years tapering prednisone to 2 mg daily. I know have been diagnosed with degenerative osteoarthritis in my hands. Are there treatments for this? Thank you, phy

Hi @phy, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear you have osteoarthritis in your hands along with PMR. The Arthritis Foundation has some information that might help some along with some treatments.

Have you discussed your hand symptoms with your doctor for any recommendations?
