Poly Myalga

Question  What is this and what can help.
 
Answer  Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a clinical syndrome characterized by severe aching and stiffness in the neck, shoulder girdle, and pelvic girdle. It is classified as a rheumatic disease, although the cause is unknown.

Since this website focuses heavily on arthritis diseases, we have very little information available at this time on Polymyalgia Rheumatica that I can direct you. However, for more information, try the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research

and the National Institute of Health
