Thanks for posting this. All along I've been uncomfortable with the idea that PMR primarily affects the shoulder and hip joint area. When the disease was at its worst, my whole body was affected: cramping and inability to move after sitting, leg pain with walking, sudden stabbing pains in thighs, upper arms, upper back. These symptoms seemed very different from ones that would be caused by referred pain from bursa or tendons at a joint. I don't know what pain caused by vasculitis would feel like, but it makes more sense to me that muscles and tendons all over the body are affected.
