New PMR patient, wondering if mornings will become pain free someday
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: Jun 1 11:10am | Replies (120)Comment receiving replies
I was diagnosed in November 2022. My “flares” start, and are worse in my hands. I can tell when starting as my fingers swell. Do you have swelling of your hands?

I am grateful that I do not have swelling in my hands and fingers. I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my fingers. I suppose most of my pain is in my fingers, a combination of the osteoarthritis and the PMR. Stiffness is probably the most debilitating factor. It is persistent, regardless of my prednisone dose.
Best wishes and blessings.

In reply to @trimomlewis . Hello there. I was diagnosed last August. That was one of my symptoms. Plus sore wrists . I was done to 3 mg of prednisone and l have the same issue again plus my ankles and feet are swollen.
Dr has updated my meds hoping for relief.
