I took a misstep 10 days ago, falling with a sprained ankle, but no other injury. However, in the next few days, I began feeling my usual indicators of flare, shoulder pain, hip pain,etc. Not quite recognizing that I was beginning a flare, I just ignored and carried on. Then my spouse, wise she is…said…you’re having a flare…and…so I was. A few days of extra pred stopped the flare, but left me puzzled…. So I started looking for articles associated with “can a fall precipitate a PMR flare”.
I found that, yes, it and other environmental stressors, can cause the dreaded flare. If anyone is interested in the Document, I will try to post its cite.
something new every day.
