Precursor symptoms to PMR?

Yes I noticed unusual muscle soreness for about 3 months before the full fledged PMR symptoms showed up. I would do something like go running or ride a peloton (things I typically was doing weekly), and I might be sore for 5 days. I joked that age was just starting to catch me (56 y/o) but it wasn’t normal. Finally when I got the more classic symptoms I saw a dr and was diagnosed in 4 days.

My diagnosis so far is family doctor basing it on my reported symptoms, and blood work. I haven’t been examined yet. See rheumatologist next week. I’m not saying family doctor is wrong but I’ve had limited response to prednisone (based on my own ready/research). Looking forward to knowledgeable input from specialist. I’m almost 60, and used to being extremely active. This diagnosis has been a challenge in more ways than just knowing what to call it
