Hello! I haven't been diagnosed with PMR, but if I pushed for more Dr appts/tests, I suspect that may be what they would determine. I was diagnosed with MGUS early this year, and have had 3 vertebral fractures, none this year tho. Over the course of this year I've had strange pain with increasing intensity in my lower rib cage area, posterior, as well as front of pelvic bones. Feels kind of muscular, but I have a ton of tenderness to the touch as well as some possibly lumpy areas (again, hard to tell in these areas!) but it is for sure not fun. And of course, the normal spine stuff that goes with my degeneration. Att this time I'm not interested in more tests/Drs than I currently have, and I would not take steroids unless utterly unable to function - and I am for sure not there. I do all the things such as diet/exercise/etc, and I also do use CBD + THC for pain relief. For me, the combo works better than one or the other, any reputable vendor will share that info with you and talk about the cannabinoids, and the need for full spectrum for best results; also a good topical CBD cream is really unbeatable for applying to reachable areas, and I have not tried a THC topical so can't report on that. I have long been a proponent of CBD for my spinal pain and started adding THC once it became medical in my state. A great balance for me can be a low dose 1:1, and I like that combo best. Of course it will depend on your own body, but I highly recommend trying it out as a helpful natural aid for pain. I'm going to do some more experimenting for myself, I've stuck with micro dosing when working and sometimes up it when I'm functioning (house cleaning has become more challenging at times) or at the end of a long day. Another thing I can highly recommend is stretching/yoga while you are micro dosing, this feels so good to the painful body! I'm not a Dr but I work directly with a Cannabis co as a part of my job, and as such I have a good amount of knowledge 🙂 I wish you the best, and hope you give it a try!
