Hand pain

Can't find original discussion on this. I was diagnosed with PMR May 2014. Didn't know about taping, flares or this forum-neither did Doctor. Had flare in March 2015, hand pain only. So bad I couldn't use right hand and then it began to throb constantly. Fortunately I had found this forum and learned hand pain can be from PMR. I thought it was carpal tunnel. Throbbing stopped immediately and pain dramatically reduced within days of upping Pred. Thank you forum. As a note-another PMR patient said her PMR was gone in a year. However she had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands and back surgery. She never found this forum. I have since informed her/my doctor about Eileen's taping and forum website.

  Talked with two ladies who lived with PMR for years without being diagnosed so I am on a crusade to tell others about PMR. Most people have never heard about it. 

Thanks again to those on this forum.

      Ditto on what Iellen said. Bummer about for hand pain, I've had more odd pains lately too. Achilles throbbed for few days, and my hands starting to hurt, but with holidays ive endulged in sugars! 

      Yes, I wish I could put up a sign about PMR! Don't want others to suffer as many of us did from no support or knowledge. 

      Many blessings to you and all with PMR!
