Polymyalgia rheumatica part -2

So here, I am with further details for Polymyalgia rheumatica, in case you have missed the earlier part:

Polymyalgia rheumatica part -1


For PMR , ideally we should visit to neurologist as well as the orthopedic doctor for correct findings.

Basically, for the PMR patient the blood test report will show high values for below components
  • ESR
  • Creatine Phosphokinase(CPK)
  • C Reactive Protein (CRP)
and also there might be other values which should be considered based on the patient history.Sometimes, when the patient has low immunity  or low platelet count or blood circulation issues then those values should also be considered during the treatment. To rule out the neurological issue with PMR patient has to go for brain MRI with contrast or without contrast based on the severity.

Also certain set of regular exercises which can help the patient to do their regular work along with the set of medicines suggested by doctor.
