I think "sudden onset" is the key phrase to describe this disease. Suddenly stiff and in pain in my case coincided with a very strenuous exercise routine. This misled me for a while but when it got worse and not better after 8 weeks I really wondered what on earth was wrong with me. My PMR journey is posted here so I won't go over it again, but I did see my PCP who sent me to a hematologist but I still went undiagnosed from early July until October 20. When my upper arms started hurting and I couldn't put my hair in a pony tail I knew something was up

I was wondering why you were referred to a hematologist??

Agree to these insights. And bilateral. I’d like to add that it got progressives better by the end of the day, every morning was like Groundhog Day, here we go again. And I had muscle “ cramping “ best way to describe, in the most unusual places, and strange discomfort tin the saddle area. I think this is the neuro component of this disorder.
