Hi there again. I’m just giving you a little update today.
Yesterday I got my appointment for an MRI on sept 5.
I have been doing a ton of reading on what else could cause the same symptoms as pmr.
In the past 10 years I was diagnosed with osteoporosis, fractured my L1 and L2 as well as a very bad low back sprain in May of this year.
What I found was that spinal compression can have pretty much the same symptoms as pmr. I have much pain sitting because of my lower back pain.
It will be interesting what my MRI shows.

I will. Hopefully I’ll know more in a week.
FYI. I don’t take the 2 pain meds together.
I take the Alieve at bedtime and the Tylenol after breakfast. Sometimes I’ll take 2 more Tylenol after supper.
