Are Body Pain And Joints Stiffness Signs Of Polymyalgia Rheumatica?
I am 59. I take 100mg losartan potassium, escitalopram 20 mg, vitamin D2 1.25 mg once per week, ferrous gluconate 324 mg, and amlodipine 5 mg. I have been diagnosed with Polymialgia Rheumatica within the past 2 years indicated by inflammation numbers. Also, spinal severe spinal stenosis. I hurt all over. Stiffness all day and night is a problem. Maybe the PMR has returned? I’ve had 2 shots in my back for the SS. So 2 things I know of could be hurting me. Could my meds be causing any of this pain and stiffness? Does picking up grandchildren aggravate either condition?

Hello,
Your medicines are safe and are not the cause of your symptoms. Yes, heavy physical work or exertion can aggravate the symptoms. You could benefit more from pregabalin capsules.
