What Causes Stiffness During The Walk While Treating Polymyalgia Rheumatica?

I was diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatica in 2011; my symptoms seem to be getting worse, especially with walking and stiffness. Also I have trouble bending my knees or just bending over. I get very shaking for no apparent reason and am very tired all the time. what could this possibly be? I prefer telling the NP in concise terms that she can consult with physician. I am diabetic since 1995, HBP,

Hi,

You need to exercise daily. First of all, you need to make yourself believe that you will be fine. This I am saying because whenever pain lasts for long then psychological component also comes. Start with walking.

Gradually, increase distance and reach upto 4 Kms . Then start brisk walking. Add some stretching exercises and you will feel better in 4-5 months. You have to be so much regular as you are regular in eating food.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
