Sorry to be late with my response. I thought is was only me that had wrist, hand and finger pain with the PMR. My Rumey said that is not a symptom of the disease but clearly they should stop relying on the articles each other writes and talk, really get to know, their patients. I am 25 months into this journey and I also experienced the morning pain, usually at 3 am. I also started spitting my dose with a smaller amount in the evening to help get me through the night. Good luck and be aggressive in treating yourself!

You can tell your quack that I also had it worst in hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders and the back and side of knees. My doctor said my presentation wasn't typical, but I was the first case she had come across and she knew only what the diagnostic advice to doctors said. Even the scores they're supposed to use to diagnose PMR talk only about shoulders and hips. My hips are fine.
