PMRpro my friend saw his doctor finally and asked for more advice on why he was getting pain at night but not in the day. You will not be surprised to hear that the doctor wouldn’t countenance any other diagnosis and has just told my friend to up his prednisolone. Watch this space as to how this works!! Anyway thank you for the trouble you went to to help and he was very grateful for your advice.

Where does he live? Is this his GP?
does he, like so many men, sleep on his stomach??? that's a No.
I hope your friend is helped by.the increased dose,but it could be as SnazzyD said,something else causing the back pain. I did used to get lower back pain at night when l first had PMR though.
