@bren2023, I'm sure you are not alone with the PMR symptoms but normal labs.

There are other conditions that have similar symptoms as PMR:

The rheumatologist I saw in 2023 said I have fibromyalgia but I don't have the right symptoms. I have all the symptoms of PMR instead. That was in Tucson and I have moved to Gilbert since. I saw pc dr yesterday.
I just got my blood tests results and everything is negative.I’m trying to get an appt with rheumatologist. I don’t know what is wrong with me. So much pain and my legs are so weak. I can’t believe the test are neg for inflammation.
