Hi Betty, I'm sorry that you have to undergo surgery. That has to be worrisome for you. Can you stay on a low dose of Prednisone despite the surgery? I don't think a person can stop taking it cold turkey. I'm sure your doctor knows best. Enbrel has been very helpful for me. See what your rheumatologist thinks about it. Also, Methotrexate is a good drug for PMR and allowing me to keep my Prednisone dose lower than I would have to take otherwise. I will keep you in my prayers, Betty. I wish you all the best in your upcoming shoulder surgery and recovery. Please post soon. Shar
