Sorry to be a bother again but these pains have me perplexed. The last few days I have had neck , upper arm and buttock pain. It lasts for a couple of hours and then disappears. It keeps coming back in the same places and disappears for a few hours before reappearing. A new symptom for me. It never lasts all day but keeps coming back.

We are here to bother each other, worry not.
Do you perform any regular activity that uses these particular muscle groups? What do you do to relieve it?
Is the pain on one side only?
You may be under-dosing though. Have you experimented with upping your Pred dose a little?
It could be heralding a flare. In that case you could try an extra 5 mgs for a week or so then go back to your original dose. This may head it off. Unless your detective work has pointed to another cause.

How strange - is it at the same time of day? After doing something particular?
