Is polymyalgia rheumatica a serious condition?
It sounds serious, even ferocious, but it responds beautifully to proper treatment. Itβs polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), a painful, sometimes disabling condition that can be associated with giant cell arteritis (GCA), a disease that is much less common but much more serious.
What causes polymyalgia rheumatica to flare up?
The cause of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is unknown. It is possible that the way the immune system responds to certain viruses may trigger the disease. It is most probable that its development is triggered by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
