Hand pain
Posted , 6 users are following.
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.

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!
