I have read in several sources that biceps tendonitis is often a symptom of PMR. When my PMR first started I would get shooting pains in the area of this tendon, on the front side of the upper arm below the shoulder. Burning would not be the first word I would choose to describe it, but many of the PMR pains I have around my shoulders have a burning quality to them. I just wanted to let you know that there is a "classic" PMR symptom that occurs in the upper arm.
