NMM
Does anyone have severe low back, hip and thigh pain due to PMR. I do have PMR and have reduced my prednisone down to 12 1/2 mg 5 months ago, exactly when the back, hip, and thigh pain started and has gotten progessivly worse so that it is now constant, it is now stoping me from standing,sitting or walking for longer than 15 minutes stretches because the resultant pain for days after is frightening. My doctor thinks it might be bursitis because there are some "hot spots", but I'm not sure I agree. I don't like the idea of increasing my prednisone but if I knew for sure it was due to PMR I could handle the pain easier than wondering what else is going on with my body.
