thank you for your advice , my appointment is a week from today (with a rheumatologist) (very hard to get ) this pain is difficult to deal with , it came on suddenly, Im thinking its because of much stress.

Hello @sidsell my name is Beryl as you have seen you are not on your own with PMR although you feel like you are the only one in the world and nobody believes you that you are in such pain even though you can't walk and you feel that they think you are putting it all on .....I know been through the hoop with it .....but talking to the people that are and have suffered can give you the confidence you need to carry on......
You have an appointment I believe at the Mayo Clinic where you will be helped and looked after.......the very best of luck with your recovery .......Beryl

I agree with your thought that stress can trigger the symptoms of PMR. It did for me--in my opinion. The problem is that once it activates ,
it doesn't want to go away.
