PMRpro in an answer in another thread you said,
"I had quite severe foot pain with PMR, it felt like I was walking on sharp pebbles mixed with broken glass! It started when I stood up and then eased slightly after a few minutes walking. It took a few months to disappear after starting pred"
This was my experience last year, especially when walking on uneven ground. Exactly how I would describe it and I had to gird my loins in order to walk. It made me think that every bone, ligament and tendon were breaking in my feet (and ankles at times).
Foot pain had been around for me before and I'd been prescribed orthopaedic shoe inserts a year before so I have not connected it with potential PMR. This time last year we were on holiday with friends (one a retired GP) and she quietly suggested I should be moving....my OH and I started walking more from then on....it got easier and then it was time to move from sandals (trekking style sandals so comfortable foot bed) to something more suitable for winter. I was dreading wearing proper, enclosed footwear but found some comfortable soft walking boots in the UK. Amazingly my feet worked well in these and I had a good experience walking through the winter.
This summer has been difficult for various reasons, including the onset of the ?PMR pains and fatigue so I have walked less and less. My feet have continued to work well though, back in the sandals for summer and it's only kin the last few days I have felt the beginnings of the old foot pain.
Dropped 3mgs today (to 9), all good so far, but waiting for my body to realise it's not had all if it's fix....
