I have PMR and there isn't much of my body that doesn't hurt, even with the lighted touch. I too have pain in my chest and ribs, so I can relate. But I also have Interstitial Lung Disease and combined with the PMR it makes it very difficult to take a full breath. It is frustrating. My hope is they find a treatment that works better than those I am taking now. (I have been on Prednisone for the last 5+ years, Hydroxychloroquine, and muscle relaxants off and on as needed for muscle spasms and cramping. The doctor tried meds for pain, including Tramadol none of the pain meds have offered much relief.)

Has prednisone helped you at all? That sounds excruciating.
