I’m not sure what PMR does “officially”, but in the last several months my pain has moved into both hands after being dx 4 yrs ago. My fingers have begun locking and thumbs are very painful😑…prior to this, I had significant foot pain. It seems to have migrated to my hands 🤷🏼♀️…this condition is very odd!

Since my first, and so far only, flare about 9mths ago when inflammation returned, I've developed a lot of new symptoms: Morton's Neuroma (compression of nerves between metatarsal bones) in the balls of the feet, thrombosis in the leg requiring blood thinners, and more recently trigger finger (swelling of the tendon sheath from inflammation) for which I wear a finger splint which helps, and a rash on my hands which I'll show the doctor next week.
Since I've had no problems with hands or feet prior to PMR, and the feet were fine on PMR treatment till after the first flare, I put it down to a progression of PMR and/or complications of the treatment. I've never had so many various symptoms and health problems coming together before. It's a mystery at this stage as to which things will resolve and which are permanent. Various autoimmune conditions have many overlapping symptoms and progressions.

Sounds like arthritis to me. You might want to have further evaluation for osteoarthritis or inflammatory arthritis from your pcp or rheumatologist.7
Best wishes in your health journey.
