extremely tender

[Uglow]

hi everyone does anyone get really tender spots not spots places that when you touch are really tender! Not done anything. Thanks

The backs of my heels and lower calves have always been sore to touch firmly with PMR. Sometimes feel the same in my thighs - I think it is areas where there is myofascial inflammation or the attachments of the tendons/ligaments are inflamed with the PMR

[Rose54 in reply to PMRpro]

Same ares for me as well

[Uglow in reply to PMRpro]

Ahh that makes sense mine is around ribs

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Uglow]

Sort of general or specific areas of your ribs? Could be costochondritis

[Uglow in reply to PMRpro]

I did wonder as I’m doing new exercises but holding off for few days

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Uglow]

Or a pulled muscle in that case - but yes, give it a few days rest

What sort of pain around your ribs? Is it only painful if you touch them?

[Uglow in reply to piglette]

And move but only sometimes

[piglette in reply to Uglow]

Is it both ribs all over or a specific spot?

[Uglow in reply to piglette]

Both bit alternates 🤣😢🤣

[piglette in reply to Uglow]

Does it go round the back too?

[Uglow in reply to piglette]

Yes definitely

[piglette in reply to Uglow]

Have you talked to a doctor about it?

[Uglow in reply to piglette]

Not yet

I have this sort of pain in my upper arms, thighs, and calves starting from my knees. I also sometimes have numbness in these areas, arms to the tip of my baby fingers and lower legs to my toes. I wondered if this was a Pred side effect or PMR itself.

Yes I have had tender spots on legs under inside of knee area, tops of arms , back shoulder areas and thighs . Very tender and sore when slight pressure applied.This has been for years now, I have had PMR for 7 years.

Yes the bottom half of my legs especially on the outside were very tender when I was on higher dose of steroids but not as bad now I am on a lower dose. The only thing I still get is a burning sensation in the same area if I stand for too long.

Yes, in my ribs and sternum, wrists. Following muscular injury in my calf (upper and lower) I have developed these painful sites in my ankle too. Note my diagnosis is Stills Disease which manifests as RA for me. My physio says it’s Enthesitis.

[Bfp1]

I have this all over me - I think it is either PMR or fybromyalgia- not sure - but I get it everywhere all the time! Good luck and it really hurts xx

[Twopies]

Every once in a while I get one—searing pain in different places, in one spot. Sore to thr touch. Doesn’t last long, I attribute it to overdoing something or other, I never know exactly what.

I’ve got sore spots around my hips.
