What is Polymyalgia?
Polymyalgia, often referred to as Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR), is an inflammatory condition that causes pain and stiffness in large muscle groups, most commonly around the shoulders and hips. It mainly affects older adults and can appear suddenly. The condition is often treated with corticosteroids and may be associated with fatigue and limited movement. An ICE card helps explain your diagnosis clearly in emergencies, avoiding confusion and supporting faster, more appropriate care.
