Back pain is holding me back
Posted , 10 users are following.
this continued back pain is high and creating more pain even though the prednisone 20 mg seems to be helping the upper body and hip pain. I sincerely feel the pain medication is working against me as I don't dare to just stop the pain meds for my back. Has anyone experienced back pain along with their polymyalgia rheumatica?

I have bursitis in both my hips (pre PMR) and also have Sheuerman's disease, a back complaint which has caused crush fractures in my spine.
I was amazed when the pred got rid of the pain and inflammation from both these problems, but as I drop the pred they are both starting to hurt again! I can't win!!

to take my pillow and blanket and go out on the living room
couch, turn on the TV, put the station on Nick at Nite or
some other boring,old show....The drone of the TV lulls
me to sleep. I sort of listen to the show and don't think
about the fact I can't go to sleep. Works for me.
