I have spent many nights between my bed and favorite chair so can definitely relate. My PMR hip/girdle pain is actually bad when standing & walking but it also hurts when sitting or lying down if I am in a bad flare. I think there is also a little tingling or burning to it. If my husband massages it too deeply I have also noticed that the pain is unbearable. My Shoulder pain is worse when using my arms for a prolonged period (i.e, washing my hair). I think I’m learning to distinguish my degenerative disc from PMR pain because it tends to be more pin pointed and a little easier to tune out. The PMR pain is more disabling and harder to ignore. I hope it is not just because I have been coping with DD pain for a long time and PMR pain is newer. I hope that is helpful and praying we all turn the corner soon!
