@bren0718 I do have pain behind my knee. Especially my right knee. It’s also in my hamstring my right hamstring at times and it goes to the side of my knee and also to my calf which is so stiff that it feels like I have a Charlie horse in the calf, since I was diagnosed with PMR last February prednisone has helped greatly and I’m also on actemra infusions but I feel like this is a tricky and mysterious disease. It seems to travel around. In the summer. I was having major stiffness, and I assumed it was Achilles tendinitis in my left leg that went on for a couple months now that leg seems better, but my right leg is bothering me. I had none of these issues before being diagnosed with PMR.

Interesting we both have right knee rather than both knee pain. All my other PMR pain is on both sides of my body at the same time. I will mention this to my rhuem doc on next visit to make sure he knows about this. I appreciate others that have answered here.

I have to agree on the bellwether comment. I had been having sore sit bones for a while just before getting diagnosed with PMR. My primary care stated she thought it could be bursitis.
The soreness comes and goes and I can be sitting on something soft and it can be sore.
I think it was a forerunner of pending PMR and when I cut my heel I think the trauma of the severe injury was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
