Pain mainly in one part of body
Posted , 14 users are following.
There seems some uncertainty as to what can cause terrible pain at the top of one arm in the middle of the night and when waking (it eases somewhat during the day)- does PMR usually take affect across the whole body? After 2 years of PMR this is a new development, and I think my good GP is a bit puzzled. More blood tests next week- but in England do puzzling 'cases' like me get referred on sometimes? I'd also like any insight into the pain not being uniform across my muscles any more- Thanks. Happy Christmas!

This is somewhat my issue also. i was at 4.5 and complaining to rhumi about pain in my right shoulder with referred burning into my arm, hand and fingers; was given an nerve electro test which was normal. she agreed to give me a shot into the shoulder bursar, this did nothing. i stayed on 4.5 until a week ago and began having more severe pain so i bumped up to 10mg; MY plan now is to wait and see - like you it is only on one side...I console myself about the increase in pred, since i seem to remember reading coming back down can be quicker - the other very annoying thing for me are the changes in my body...

what my pain is.....I've had pain separate times in separate shoulders.
Not all my pain as been bilateral. I keep reading that most people
show symptoms in shoulders first etc....my first pain was in groin,
hips, thighs. We don't all hurt in the same place.

Top of youarm is quite specific. I do hope you find the cause soon and can get some relief.

Strangely - blood tests don't identify everything! PMR is generally bilateral, on both sides, though not always equally. Your comment that this is a new development means it should be investigated as such since it doesn't feel to you like part of your PMR. After all, having PMR doesn't excuse us from other things - although it can pre-dispose you to a few.
Though I'd be interested to know what you mean by "at the top of one arm"? Is it in the shoulder or in the arm? Is it the biceps or somewhere else? What sort of pain?

Change of subject, today has been extreemly wet up here in Lancashire, it just happened to be the day our family had chosen to go & cut our Christmas trees out in the wilds, up on Beacon Fell (our worst Christmas Tree hunting weather ever) we do pay for our trees by the way, we don't steal them. It is the beginning of Christmas for us, after the trees have been chosen, cut, PAID FOR & transported home, it is them time for piping hot tomato soup + as many bacon rolls as you can eat, can't get much better than that. or can it???
To all members/contributors of the most supportive/helpful/knowledgeable & understsanding club it has been my privilage to belong to, I wish you all + your families, all that you would wish for yourselves for Christmas & 2016.
Kind regards & very best wishes

I hope you get a bit of our style of December weather for a while - not that we want your rain in exchange, although snow would be fine as it is not looking particularly ski-resort-ish anywhere here and that isn't good for the tourist industry. I don't mind...
Happy Yuletide one and all!

the Pacific Northwest U.S. and they've had copious amounts of
rain, much floodiing.....I'm in Florida and it's like 84 today and
warmer tomorrow. Hard to get in any kind of Christmas Spirit
with such warm weather....we still have our a/c on.
Whatever the weather where you are I hope all have safe
and wonderful Holidays....
