Brief Answer:
No known connection
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Do you mean Chorea? If so then there is no known associated between Chorea and Polymyalgia Rheumatica?
Chorea (or choreia, occasionally) is an abnormal involuntary movement disorder, one of a group of neurological disorders called dyskinesias. The term chorea is derived from the Greek word χορεία (=dance; see choreia), as the quick movements of the feet or hands are comparable to dancing.If you would like to know more about his condition then I am happy to inform your through HCM.
Polymyalgia rheumatica (sometimes referred to as PMR) is a common cause of widespread aching and stiffness in older adults. Because PMR does not often cause swollen joints, it may be hard to recognize. PMR may occur with another health problem, giant cell arteritis. If you would like to know more about this condition I am happy to inform you through HCM.
Best wishes
