I am 77 years old and was in great health preparing for 5K race when hip and knee pain developed with swelling from the ankles to the knees in both legs. Tremendously painful joint and muscle pain with join stiffness. I have been to 18 doctors over the last year. All go back to joint arthritis and recommend knee nd hip replacement. This will not treat the leg swelling-and muscle and muscle pain. Recently diagnosed with PRM and am on Prednisone. The only different variable that no-one will discus is the Pfizer COVID vaccine. Keep being told it has to happen immediately to be considered vaccine related. As a medical professional I do not believe this is true. Would like to hear from others who feel Covid vaccine may have triggered their PMR-Don 30May2024

@bostonredsock1945. The Pfizer vaccine definitely triggered my PMR. There are numerous accounts, on this site, that have made this connection over the last year or so. Many physicians have suggested, to their PMR patients, not to take anymore Pfizer vaccines. Glad you were finally correctly diagnosed.
