Can PMR (Polymyalgia Rheumatica) be induced by vaccine?

I had 3 Pfizer vax and my 4th booster was Moderna. I had muscle soreness after all shots but the 4th booster sent me to the doctor with stiffness, pain in pelvis, hips, knees etc. He diagnosed PMR. I am down to 5 mg and doing fairly well. I know from this forum (thank you everyone!!!) that getting down to zero will be very tough.
I will never take another mRNA vaccination. I am hoping that if I get Covid, the current treatments will get me through it. I am balancing the risks of Covid versus mRNA vax - I am choosing no more vax.
I would love to see data on the number of cases of PMR by age group since mRNA vaccinations started especially in the trial participants.

I had my 4th COVID vax in April of ‘22. By June I could barely move. I was diagnosed with PMR in mid August and have been on Pred since then. I got COVID 2 months ago after attending a funeral where someone came sick. I got Paxlovid the day after I tested positive and did ok. I won’t get another mRNA vax either.
