Day # 217 - Polymyalgia Rheumatica


Today's case was highly suspicious of PMR with an elderly woman presenting with bilateral shoulder and hip girdle stiffness with associated proximal muscle weakness and pain. It was not suggestive of closely related Giant Cell Arteritis as there was no suggestion whatsoever of temporal arteritis.

Polymyalgia rheumatica is reviewed in NEJM here.
