Polymyalgia Rheumatica
Polymyalgia rheumatica is an inflammatory disorder that causes pain and stiffness, especially in the shoulders, neck, and hips, most frequently in older adults.
Common symptoms: Morning pain and stiffness in the shoulder and pelvic girdles, which make movements such as getting up or combing your hair difficult, sometimes with a general feeling of being unwell.
When to see a doctor? When joint stiffness and pain persist and limit daily activities, an evaluation is warranted.
Which specialist treats it? The rheumatologist is the main point of reference, with support from the internist, and physical rehabilitation and physical therapy help restore mobility. If you experience these symptoms in a sustained way, it is advisable to have them assessed by a professional.
