RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Polymyalgia rheumatica: An updated review JF Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine JO Cleve Clin J Med FD Cleveland Clinic SP 549 OP 556 DO 10.3949/ccjm.87a.20008 VO 87 IS 9 A1 Salman Bin Mahmood A1 Elizabeth Nelson A1 Jessica Padniewski A1 Rawad Nasr YR 2020 UL http://www.ccjm.org/content/87/9/549.abstract AB Polymyalgia rheumatica should be suspected in older patients with bilateral shoulder and hip stiffness that is worse in the morning and improves with use. An array of nonspecific musculoskeletal complaints, constitutional symptoms, and elevated serum inflammatory markers may be present, so other conditions should also be considered. Prolonged glucocorticoids with patient-tailored dosing and duration are the mainstay of treatment. Corticosteroid-sparing therapy with adjunctive methotrexate may benefit select patients.
