This is what I experience as well. Any kind of unusual activity too causes a lot more pain the next day-for example up and down the ladder. But then again, some days I wake up and remain in much more pain then the day before for no obvious reason. Strange disease it is.

Hi @paelwell, You will notice that we moved your post to an existing discussion - PMR and exercise: What helps you?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/pmr-and-exercise/ so that you can learn what other members have shared. It's good to see that you already have a response from @froehlich22. I too have experienced the "next day" effect after over doing it with exercise or activing when my PMR was active. The key for me was how much activity is too much and I'm not sure I ever figured that out 🙂

I found that magnesium help my muscle pain a lot. But be sure to get one that has three ingredients and be sure to take D3 with it.
Magnesium Glycinate
Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium Malate
Vitamin D3
