What Is Polymyalgia Rheumatica?
2. Complications of Polymyalgia Rheumatica
Polymyalgia rheumatica can cause significant disruptions in daily living. The severity of the pain and stiffness lead to difficulty performing tasks that would otherwise be completed with ease. Even getting out of bed or brushing teeth is challenging at times.
When the symptoms are severe, the effects of the disorder can spill over to impact every aspect of life. Maintaining the same level of activity as before the onset of the condition becomes difficult. As such, social engagements and physical activity diminish. Overall health, sleep quality and emotional wellbeing suffer as well.
