"The pain felt like it was in the tendons connecting muscles to bones near the joints."

The enthesis (plural: entheses) is where tendons connect to bones. Enthesitis is very common in people who have inflammatory arthritis.

Inflammatory arthritis more than PMR might explain why you need so many joint replacements. There are many types of inflammatory arthritis.

Speaking from experience, you can develop PMR in addition to inflammatory arthritis.

@dadcue Oh yes, you are right. I do have osteoarthritis according to my PCP. Thanks for your reply and sharing your knowledge. Sorry to hear that you are speaking from experience. I wish the very best for you.
I’m really hoping that my hips are PMR and not needing to be replaced. My shoulders, wrist and knee were from four separate injuries. Arthritis attacked my injured joints.
I have had inflammation in my hands (fingers) noticeably, for about 10 years.
