Description
Jack March aka the rheumatology physio returns to talking about PMR and the treatment route
He explains what the symptoms are and how its diagnosed and discusses the treatment pathway along with measures that can be taken to improve the symptoms
KEY TAKEAWAYS
PMR occurs 3x more in women than it does in men and a typical onset is a pain and stiffness in the shoulders when you wake up in the morning
There is an overlap of rheumatology conditions which can make diagnosis challenging
There is a risk of it developing into rheumatoid arthritis and the difficulties that brings
High levels of inflammation can cause problems with your cardiovascular system
It is almost exclusively treated with steroids and the results are seen very quickly
Steroids can affect bone density, muscle bulk and your lymphatic system
Measures to protect bone density need to be put in place and loading can be an effective approach
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s about understanding the individual in front of you’
‘People need to understand what they are doing and why they are doing it’
‘A healthy diet, and exercise can help improve the symptoms’
