Effect of long car rides on PMR
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: Sep 19, 2022 | Replies (16)Comment receiving replies
To me difficulty in travel is one of the hallmarks of PMR. During both times that my PMR was active I experienced extreme issues with travel. Sitting in a confined area for a period of time exacerbated the symptoms and it was hard for me to even get out of a car without help. I hope you achieve remission soon. All the best to you and anyone else suffering from this debilitating condition.

Every case is different, for me any long ride, even today in remission, is a challenge. I’m currently not on any prednisone. I feel the loss of range of motion coupled with the muscle atrophy, while very sick, helps me to understand the pain and my desire to slowly get my fitness back. Take time and don’t push but don’t give up on regaining your fitness. Again, everyone is different.
