Precursor symptoms to PMR?

My warning signs were everywhere. I had made a diet change to lower my LDL and soon after I lost 20 lbs quickly thinking the diet was great. Not long after I developed pain in my right quadricep and groin which I wrote off as pulled muscles that wouldn’t heal. Did massage therapy that had no impact. Soon after while on vacation I got hit with the inflammation blast. Looking back I realize there were signs. Never dreamed I would end up with this nightmare.

I had a similar experience with PMR. I had a lot of stiffness in my hips, shoulders, and neck. I had trouble picking things up off the floor, and also getting dressed (putting on socks and shoes, shirts, etc). I had a knee problem that never recovered where I couldn't go up and down steps normally. Eventually I developed GCA and that forced me to seek medical treatment.
