Bones, joints and muscles

Which pain relief do people take while taking Pred. 

2

I have found cocodamol helpful especially as you cannot take ibuprofen with pred.

3

Tablespoonful of Remy Martin.

Developed my Medieval Monks in France as a medicine.

4

Great answer! Almost wish I had pain.

My main problem is poor balance. Not

sure about taking alcohol, would give

the wrong impression, but a great idea.

5

Remy Martin is my number one too.

I find taking acetaminophen (paracetamol) in doses from 325mg - 1 gm depending upon pain severity. If the pain is so bad perhaps pred dropped too quickly. An Epsom salt bath, 20 min with2 cups Es is very soothing. 

Till now, I am on 12.25 pred tapering to 11.5 snail method. Keeping reasonably active helps. With my doctor,s approval I take CoQ10 50mg twice a day and B12 sublingual. My energy has been pretty good and I don't seem to have muscle aches after an increase in exercise. 

Diagnosed with PMR Dec 2015, started at 15 mg pred. Age 74 in NJ, USA

I'm assuming you mean pain which is not PMR related as pred is supposed to take care of that pain and if it isn't something needs to be adjusted.  I take, depending on proximity to pred dose, for headaches only, aspirin or tylenol, or, rarely, one of these with codeine.

good for preventing the pain... this is why I take it before going to bed

9

I have Osteoporosis as well so have back pain related to that.  Sometimes difficult to know whats causing what pain. 

10

Get a walker and people will just think you are old

and not snockered.....

Boy!.....me too.....I have some low back stuff and two

herniated disc just between my shoulder blades and told

my doc I'm never sure what is causing what pain.  I do know

that the first pain that led to PMR diagnosis was in the groin.

not in the shoulder area like most.   I can sort of tell what

is muscle pain and not joint pain....awful business this PMR.

12

Yes, hard to know if the pain is from prm/gca or something else. Starting to think about the car accident I had 28 years ago. Maybe that is causing a lot of my pain. Decided to get some MRIs.

Yes, the pain is usually when I first drop but it's not really PMR type.
