Good to read all the comments and know that others have the same “odd” experiences. Pain jumps around with PMR. My issues do stay consistently painful in hands, wrists, upper arms and shoulders. Back, ankles, feet seem to come and go - from ache and stiffness to a jabbing pain. Mornings the body is stiff and takes a bit to get moving, then can move quite freely until stopping and restarting.
Had Carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists. Doctor found and removed much packed inflamed tissue. Sent to a Pain management doctor and diagnosed with PMR. Was on Prednisone and sent to a Rheumatologist. Tapered me off Prednisone. He is looking, also, at Rheumatoid Arthritis without the RH factor. Was going to begin Methotrexate but began breaking out in these “eruptions”. Needed to know cause before beginning medication. These eruptions came in twos every couple of weeks and had 6 of these. Sent to a Dermatologist and said an allergic reaction to an insect bite. Believe I am finished with that and go back to Rheumatologist next week.
I have always been very active so the fatigue and constant issues are wearing me down. I have spoken to my Dentist and Ophthalmologist (at appointments) and found them very supportive and informational.
Thanks for listening.
