Was initially diagnosed with PMR in April 2022 only to be told a month later by Rheumatologist that it wasn’t PMR but a nasty viral infection.
Also had long standing shoulder pain now for over 2 years and neck also very stiff.Had shoulder scanned recently shoeing no tests but SASD bursa distended consistent with bursitis.Had steroid injection after scan but pain within the joints remain.It is a constant dull ache from getting out of bed to returning to bed in the evening.Have an office based job and work 3 days a work but really struggling due to the psin.
Can anybody advise where to go next please.Is it worth further blood tests for PMR.Would it be worth having my neck scanned?Any medication tips or creams or oils I could try?Had lots of physio both privately and NHS which hasn’t helped & also had various chiropractor sessions.Am contemplating acupuncture next.Pain is making me miserable and unable to participate in cycling & bowls which I love.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
