Foot pain

Hi @cgm, Sorry to hear you are experiencing severe foot pain. I had a bad case of gout in one of my feet the first time I was diagnosed with PMR but it was treated with colchicine and that took care of it fairly fast and then I just had the PMR pain to manage. If I read your description correctly it's like a burning pain in both feet which sounds more like a symptom of neuropathy. There are quite a few members who have posted about burning feet. Here's a link to the discussions and comments that you might want to scan through to see if it's similar to yours - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/?search=burning%20feet.

Is the pain with you 24x7 or does it seem to be worse at night?

Thank you for the links. It is most days and usually the whole sole of the feet. But also sometimes feels like I’m walking on glass. Fire and glass! lol. Not a good feeling. Again, thank you for directing me to other threads.

I have had a tingling and somewhat of a numb feeling in my feet since PMR. But who knows. Try to hold course on your taper. After 3 yrs it will not be easy. The lack of cortisol will mimic the PMR pain and inflammation. There is life after prednisone. Plenty of Vitamin C . B vitamins. An anti-inflammatory called Boswellia. Other drugs that help if the PMR is acting up Acterma and Kevzara. They do not help with Cortisol.
