Hello, I too received no help from docs on the cramping.
I bought a magnesium cream and used it before bed. Figured it couldn’t hurt.
Btw, I’m now off prednisone. Just about 12 weeks I’d say.
I can’t say my troubl are over. It’s like whack a mole!
Now my lumbar pain/ stiffness had returned and no lateral carpal tunnel. Just had surgery on left hand. Got to the point where I could no longer feel my fingers and quite clumsy. I think the prednisone was masking my underlying issues.
I sometimes wonder if the PMR OR GCA will return but more and more just try to stay away from my worst fears that I can’t control.
I was on prednisone for 3 years… I wish all well as you travel this path.
