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.

Bilateral for sure! Worse in the morning, for me, somewhat better by end of day. My thighs hurt like heck and going up and down was so difficult. Funny thing, the thigh pain would be worse in one leg or the other, front or back; it changed. Sacral belt hurt, which I would describe as "hips," so from hips to knees. Grateful that PMR, when it does leave us alone, does no permanent damage. Hard to believe, but true!

Yes, bilateral and generalized was the reason that I was quite sure that the pain I had was PMR and not osteoarthritis or something like tendonitis.
