Muscle tears and PMR and/or pred?
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: Jun 10, 2023 | Replies (19)Comment receiving replies
My hamstrings are on fire. I assumed it was the little exercise I’m trying to do. I. Can no longer take my walks or play golf. PMR is taking over my life.I tore a muscle in my calf just from walking, so this has to be from PMR. I’m in good shape for 83, but now I feel every bit as old! I’m not giving up though, I hope the medication helps.

Watch your diet and research the foods to avoid and those that help PMR. I found I started to recover after I did this. Don't push yourself. Take time to rest during the day. It's a long term illness but it probably will come to an end. (I say probably as I am not sure about your situation, pretty much everyone get's over it eventually).
I too am glad I was in good shape for 74, four years ago, and that being stuck at home during Covid was no problem. We have come this far and achieved so much that we must be strong even if there are days you don't feel that way. Don't give up hope, pamper yourself you have earned it. Good luck.
