Tingling or burning feeling on upper arms

Been diagnosed as having pmr now for about 2 yrs, in the last couple of months I gotten this tingling or burning feeling sometimes on the skin on my upper arms, most of the time it occurs when I first get up then may go away for a couple hours or all day, maybe once a week I'll have the same feeling on my lower legs, has anybody else had anything like this
