Does Stress Affect Polymyalgia Rheumatica?
I was diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica 6 months ago, had prednisone prescribed and it took effect in less than six hours (the best moment of my life!) I ve been through PT for the soreness of my shoulders (nothing like the pain at the outset), but wonder if it can be reoccurring. My doctor thought it originated with the stress to my body of a couple of procedures at the same time (typos include colonoscopy and endiosopy). Is this a correct ? YYYY@YYYY

Hi,
Stress per se won't cause polymyalgia rheumatica but definitely stress reduces your power to bear pain. hence small pain will appear severe to you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
