Polymyalgia Rheumatica – Symptoms & Causes

Limited Range of Motion

Along with pain and stiffness, polymyalgia rheumatica would also cause a limited range of motion around the affected areas. This symptom is clearly noticed in the morning when your body starts working after a long period of inactivity. You can feel the sensation on one or both sides, particularly around the shoulders and surrounding parts like hips, arms, and necks. Some techniques, such as massage, physical therapy, or acupuncture, can alleviate the symptom. However, it will not disappear unless you seek proper treatments for polymyalgia rheumatica. [5]
