What is the goal when first diagnosed with PMR?

@suetex, My PMR is currently in remission but I do remember having about the same balance problems when it was active as I do now so I'm not sure the balance problem was related. I also have other conditions like neuropathy that I'm sure can cause balance problems. I do have problems standing for any length of time and walking any distance so I try to exercise daily on my exercise bike and do some resistance training to help build strength.
Have you looked into any exercises to help with your balance?

Boy, have I! Lots of sessions of PT and sessions with the PT Doc. Nothing really helps. No neuropathy that can be found. Had really strong legs when all this started. (Riding and posting for hours on end.) Can't relate it to anything accept an inflamed achilles tendon just prior (by a few weeks) the balance problem started. I was about 6 weeks into the PMR treament. (Which had gone 4 years undignosed.) So grasping at any connection that seems abnormal. Thanks for your input.
