Pain in neck,shldrs, hips, low back, & one painful knee. As you’ve probably read on here, symptoms can vary a lot. I suggested PMR to my PCP & got shot down. She did at least refer me to a rheumatologist who diagnosed me. Prednisone is the only thing that relieved my symptoms. What a relief to discover this. It just treats symptoms though where methotrexate is what my rheumatologist calls a ‘disease modifier’ but isn’t tolerated by everyone.
