Seeing PMR exercises via YT are so rare. So thank you for actually sharing this!
You're so welcome!
They say moderate exercise - what’s moderate to some is too much for others. This looks light and doable. Thanks for the ideas. 😊
You're so welcome!
I cured my PMR simply by cutting out all vegetable oils, ultra-processed food, sugar and cut down on carbohydrates.
In addition I ate more olive oil and tried to eliminate food containing lectins from my diet. This includes wheat, beans (unless thoroughly soaked) and nightshades.
This diet not only cured my PMR but my general health improved. I would never eat the diet that I once had, it's toxic to many.
Interesting, thank you
Thank you for this wonderful youtube. I have had PMR for several years and due to side effects have ditched all pharmaceutical medications. Pain is almost untenable but I'm determined I won't go back on prednisone or other meds. I did these exercises along with the video. A couple (shoulder-focused) were challenging but when I'd finished I could not believe how much better my body felt when I needed to move, walk, reach for something or stoop. I am thrilled. I will do them every morning now (and try and stick with the anti-inflammatory diet I've been reading about) - now there's a challenge - fish?? green tea?? Eeeeek! Thank yhou again for sharing your expertise. I'm very grateful to you. Greetings and Happhy New Year from down under.
Amazing and I'm so glad this has helped you. Best wishes for 2024!
thanks for this. This just gave me an idea. Im only 26 and struggling with PMR is a challenge.
First time I've seen this channel today. Crazy disease is crippling! I'm no longer taking Prednisone but slight pain persists. Thank you for doing this! Will do it every day!
I hope it helps you.
What a great and SHORT exercise! There's always time to do it, even it hurts.
Glad you enjoy them.
I have just been.n diagnosed with pmr after a few days in hospital, and not in anyway exaggerating I was unable to move my arms or legs for hours
Hope you find a way of managing it.
Thank you. 👍👍
You're welcome
78 yr old w/ PMR. MAKE SUPREME EFFORT TO QUIT CAFFEINE! The best thing you can do for yourself.
Suggestion: avoid lactic acid from yogurt, sauerkraut and kim chi pickles. Also oxalic acid in spinach, beets etc. Yes to Brassica greens.
Suggestion: avoid chairs for long periods. Sit crosslegged for computer use.
Suggestion: avoid all sugars and high GI starches. Avoid fried anything. Yes to olive oil drizzled not fried.
Try out "food combining".
Lots of veg fiber rich foods.
Thank you so much for sharing
Thanks so much
You're welcome!
Thank you. Will try these exercises to see how I go. Diagnosed polymalgia 12 months ago. Started 25 mg prednisolone. Now reduced to 5 mg. Muscles still hurt.
I hope it improves over time for you
/&thanks so much
Most welcome
I like the new stopwatch outline of your logo on your shirt. Any news on the clothing line? I had a shirt made for myself that’s similar:) Top fan haha.
Ha ha! Great. No not yet as I'm still working full time as well as running my martial arts business on top. This is still a "hobby" but hopefully as it grows, I will be able to focus more time to it and give up my day job! That's the plan anyway. Thank you No.1 fan
Nothing works for me and I'm sick and tired of failure. I ride my bike, even foregoing my E bike for my old lightweight. I walk up the local hills, go to a spa pool and gym and try to eat sensibly.
I have a persistent trapped nerve in my right shoulder, a right knee that prevents me from standing on my pedals and my balance is shot. I've just kicked Prednisolone after four years of the stuff and I have to pop Paracetamol night and morning. I'm sick of reading about diets that cure, being robbed by joint supplement hawkers and NHS Doctors that don't care.
Isn't it about time the wretched health authority got to grips with this plethora of conflicting treatments???
I hope you can find way of managing it
Did you hear about Paddison Program?
I hear you ! And I agree I don’t think I’ll last 4 yrs on the stuff it’s made me so ill in so many other areas I feel like it’s destroying me , I dread the pred
My rheumatoloist says I have pmr. I cant use my left hand..cant
Bend fingers..it is stiff and swells up...i can use my right but cant make a fist. Am on 20 mg of prednisone. Some of my toes feel numb. The bone and joint doctor I see isnt buying the rhumatologists notion. My knee reflexes are hyper but arm reflexes are not. I wish someone had an answer. Been this way since September.
I hope you find some sort of resolution or way of managing it

Can l do in cervical spondilights
It might be OK, just be careful with the speed and range of movement.
Are these ok for gca and pmr went from 60mg of predisalone down to 1mg for 1year but still suffering with soreness and stiffness
Yes they should be OK as they're not challenging the cardiovascular system (arteries) too much.
I’ve been diagnosed with PMR. My morning stiffness lasts for at least 3 hours and on a bad day can be six hours. Does anybody only have it for an hour?
I hope this helps.
Yes, before I started on Prednisone I had great pain and stiffness for an hour. I have no pain now. As I go down from 9 mg. to 8 mg., (Drop one mg. every two weeks) I may start to experience pain and stiffness again or even a relapse with very low dosages. Exercise is a great idea if you can get enough sleep. I am 79 now.
I'm same as you. I'm now 4/5 weeks in - Strangely I seem to have about once a week or so that I wake up with no pain, think i've cracked it and then next day the return is so deflating - but yeah the general advice being its approx first hour it's not been for me i'm far more in line with 3 hours or more often up to 6.
I am on treatment with GP and now hospital consultant.
I'm the same as you , terrible pain for many hours. My pain is so bad oi cannot move
I don’t know anyone who only has stiffness and pain for one hour but that is the description that the nhs gives ! 15mg of pred gave me some movement I’m not down to 8 and in agony most of the time I’d say 4 hours in morning and returning about 6 hours after meds . I do have other health issues
As far as this video is concerned if I could move like that I doubt I would ever have been referred to rhuematology !
or one could just do ba duan jin qi gong gentle exercises and perhaps zhan zhuang there is no way to over do the excercise and gentle walks.
I'm not sure what that is, but if it helps you, then great
