Is everyone here diagnosed with PMR seeing a rheumatologist?

Was the MRI of your whole body or just spine?
If spine only how was it determined to do the spine area only. It’s very frustrating that doctors don’t want to do MRI’s; they want to take a slower approach and for me, I would rather get to the bottom of the real cause. I think Covid vaccine caused my Polymyalgia.

Hello Cah, my spine was causing pain down my legs but I also had pain in the buttocks, shoulders, arms, hands. Everywhere. Prednisone stopped all the pain except in my legs, so more prednisone was added. After the MRI it showed my spine was causing the leg pains not the PMR. My PMR was under control with a much lower dose of pred. and earlier than thought.
I too fully believe the covid vaccine triggered my PMR, along with a case of shingles. Never in my life have I had an immune problem until I received those shots. I will never trust our government with my health again. I was very leery about getting the shots to begin with but fell in with millions of others that I was protecting my loved ones to get them. One shot, one booster and never again.
