I'm usually fit and active but spent 4/5 months undiagnosed and in pain. I'm keen to get moving again but worried that I could over do it and cause further problems. Can anyone help with their experience? Thanks so much.

I am sorry it's taken so long for your Dr. To put you on Prednesone. I was diagnosed 11 months ago and my Dr. Recognized the symptoms right away plus my Mother had PMR when she was my age (62). I have always worked out doing weight training, yoga, cycling and step classes. Even at my most painful before the prednesone I always felt better if I kept moving. Mornings were the worst ( I stretched first thing) but as the day went on I felt better. I am down to 4 mg prednesone now and go to the gym 5 days a week. I feel as strong as ever. But like they say.. Everyone is different. Once you are on prednesone you will feel much better.
Good luck to you.
