You do realise this is in the shoulder problems section don't you Pauline?
In the meantime - night back pain that eases on getting up can be typical of something called ankylosing spondylitis so I would consider seeing my rheumy (not the GP) about it. It can present almost identically to PMR and the two are confused.
I was told the low back pain I had was "a touch of arthritis and you'll have to live with it" with no evidence at all and it turned out to be purely muscular and was sorted out with proper treatment. Don't accept it until it is proven.

Pauline,
So you were half right since that can cause pain in the shoulders and neck area , So it's okay, someone may have this under the discussion of Shoulder pain.
