PMR and Coisone inj

Tapyeno

Hi. I have been diagnosed with PMR. I have severe pains in my shoulders, wrists and hips in the morning time which eases off a bit during the day. I had a cortisone injection in my right shouder on Wednesday. Thinking this would ease the pain in that shoulder, I awoke on Thursday morning with practically no pain at all anywhere!! I am absolutely delighted with this result as I was not expecting it. How long would you think this would last. I awake every morning now hoping the pain has not returned.

Hi @Tapyeno and welcome to our friendly online community.

So glad to hear you have had such good results from your steroid injection already. As for how long it will last, everyone is different, but hopefully you will be lucky. Have a read through this link for more info.
