My PMR is not gone, but has gotten significantly better. It has gotten sufficiently better that I started exercising again. In my case, I started weight training and running. My hips got better faster than my shoulders and back. In both cases, I just did what I could without significant pain and backed off if I was sore until the soreness was gone. I can’t say I really ever had the impression it made the PMR worse, but I never really pushed through significant pain either. So based on my experiment of one, I’d say start very slowly, back off is there is significant pain, and do what your body allows. I hope this helps, but I’m not sure it will. 🙂

That is helpful. So trial and error. Makes some sense and also is what my physical therapist thinks. Your recovery sounds similar to mine with the shoulders seeing to take longer to feel normal. Thank you!
