I've had PMR for almost 2 1/2 years now. I have been a diabetic for 30 years. I cannot take prednisone or cortisone because my diabetes goes crazy. Any one out there have any tips to help me with this pain? I live every day in total pain, the doctors are trying all different things for me but nothing seems to help. The pain is making me so depressed ...any advice would be so appreciated.

I am myself Diabetic type 2 for 20 years,have: arthrose in back, oedema in foot, bad ciculation and now P.M.R. for 2years. I tried the Prednisone,may my sugar go nuts. My GP, change them for 200mg celebrex and 1000mg acetaminophen and when pain is to severe I have 5mg morphine every 4hours. For the past year, its better pain still present but not has strong. My GP announced to me my diabetes could be in Remission.
