Anyone having any luck with treating PMR without any specific medicati

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.

Had my cervical and lumbar MRI today. It took almost an hour in the “tube”. My shoulder and hips were in agony when I came out of there and have not calmed down yet. My EMG is next week and I am feeling anxious to get results. Hope all goes well with your MRI.
