Abstract
- Polymyalgia rheumatica is characterized by pain and stiffness of the shoulder and pelvic girdles, morning stiffness, constitutional symptoms and an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. We have experienced a 45-year-old female patient with polymyalgia rheumatica who presented with pain and stiffness of the shoulder and pelvic girdle, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and dramatic response to low-dose steroids. To our knowledge, thes is the second case of polymyalgia rheumatica with a brief review of literature.
