Would question why your rheumatologist seems to think the hands are not part of PMR. This disease affects everyone differently. Some have elevated blood work, while others do not. The one main stay is pain. It is well known that PMR causes the white blood cells to attack the linings of the muscles and tendons, which ultimately causes inflammation. There is no question that there are muscles and tendons in your hands.
Every morning I wake, I have pain from the shoulders to the wrist and hands. Prednisone takes the pain away.
Good luck in your journey. Wish you only the best.
