I've had pmr for 6 months, and am down to 8 mg. prednisone, trying to decrease the pills. I have some shoulder and arm pain in the AM, which goes away during the day. I am not sure how fast I can decrease the mgs. Every time I try, the pain is worse the next morning, and I have to go back to 8 mgs. The prednisone caused a sharp rise in my blood pressure, and I now have to take blood pressure pills (It was always normal before I started on pred.) I used to play golf every day, but can't even try now. Do you think physical therapy would help?
