Did he rule out other conditions: Excluding issues like arthritis, infections, or hypothyroidism?
Did you have a blood test for inflammation (ESR, CRP).
Suggestion: Check a your rheumatologist.

@swalex I had so many blood tests. Then retest again. It was getting worse and there was no answer. I could not go on walks, I could barely walk to bathroom or stand very long in the kitchen due to pain. I finally put every symptom I had in search and hit the button. It came back to PMR. Remember I only have access to a General Practitioner. I sent her the information and on my next visit we started the prednisone. It was like two days and I started to feel better.
After weeks I finally started walking again with my dogs. Not very far a mile max, but I’ll take it.

@swalex yes, I have had those test. I do have inflammation. As for a rheumatologist, there is not one on our island. I hope to see one in April 2026 in Seattle WA
