oh yes....PMR moves around my body from one area to another without warning. I could have pain in my right arm and my left arm is reasonably ok... Sometimes it is both sides and shoulders and neck and other times just one area. I also can have bad pains on one side of my hips and the other is ok. Generally my lower body is at a certain stiffness then pain each day but walking helps and Qigong to keep moving. My feet do not generally become affected but if my legs are stiff so are my feet and I have to steady myself for a little while until I can move off. I hope this helps.

I was told by my GP that the prednisone can and will cause torn Achilles tendon, so I have to. It the dose in half before I tear another one! I find this very confusing because the prednisone took care of pain very quickly.

@em2 for me i am always amazed at how symmetrical is the pain !! So my attention is more lower vs upper. One particular evening i had a scary sensation wiht the pain in my neck begin to feel as if it was constricting my throat ?! i was trying to figure out what i was going to do about that - it only happened once thankfully !
