I'm very sorry you developed this condition after your second Covid shot. I also experienced a PMR flare that began within days after my first Covid vaccination. It was my second bout with PMR after a thirteen-year remission. My symptoms were very similar to yours, with pain throughout my body. The carpal tunnel-like pain caused neurological symptoms in both hands. I saw a rheumatologist who prescribed prednisone, which relieved the symptoms. I am thankfully back in remission and no longer need prednisone. I hope you will find treatment and relief soon.

Did your hands swell? My PMR came out of remission as well but my hands flare and look like little sausages. Primary thinks a duel diagnosis of PMR and either rheumatic or psoriatic arthritis as an underlying due to hands. That would be a new diagnosis for me.

Thank you for this. I have felt so isolated in this. It is as if I can't make anyone understand the pain that it's causing. My hope is that prednisone will work. I'm so glad you're back in remission. I found this web site while looking for some mild exercises I could do to keep somewhat mobile. All the best to you.
