My hands continue to be swollen and painful, especially in the morning. Rheumatologist says not PMR. Validating to hear from others who have the same issue as we deal with PMR. I do find that moving and exercising helps a lot, with my mood as well as my pain level. Sometimes it's hard to stay positive. Even when the pain is tolerable, it gets old. I so appreciate all of your posts, validations and helpful suggestions.

Hey Sharon - you're so right about moving and exercising. As the old saying goes "move it or lose it"!! I'm certainly a firm believer in that and find it really helps, not just with mobility but with mental health and wellbeing. Stay strong Sharon - you'll smash through this!!
