Sharp pain in hands on certain movements. PMR-related?

I certainly had a lot of pain in hands with PMR too, and any hand movement caused sharp pain. Even after prednisolone, pain in the two lower joints of the thumb and along the outside of the hand near the wrist persisted for some time. What do you mean by the "salt cellar" of your hands? Where is that?

Hello and thank you. I misremembered the name of the area on the back of the hand beneath the base of the thumb: it is known as the snuff box…the salt cellars are near the collar bones!
Thank you for replying. In fact, my blood results showed no inflammatory markers, so it is ‘back to the drawing board’. Best wishes.
