Dear Vicky,
Is it maybe Polymyalgia Rheumatica??
My husband had it - it is very painful, very debilitating, but fortunately almost 100% temporary. I think it is not 100% curable, since it may recur, but the later bouts are short and mild.

I am so sorry that you are in so much pain - whatever is causing it. PD is bad enough by itself. And we could certainly do without the inattention of doctors to the danger of mixing meds, and without the fragile egos of some doctors.

I agree with Charles: Mayo is the place to get things sorted out.

Good luck and good mending and all the best,

birte
