Suggest Treatment For Severe Neck Pain While On Prednisone
mid june I started having neck pain, within a week the pain was so bad I could not move my upper arms, the muscles between elbow and shoulder I could not lift my arms, these symptoms would move everyday, one day I could not move fingers, one day pain was in lower arms/wrists/fingers, then fatty part by thumbs, always moving, my Primary care put me on prednisone as my sed rate was high, and diagnosed polymyalgia rhuematica, however I am only 47.....so she sent me to rhuemetologist who does not think this is what I have and is weaning me off of prednisone, I also have type 2 diabeties and Prednisone has not made me go on insulin:( I am not happy about that!. I do have elevated C reactive protein as well.? what are your thoughts?
