When to seek medical advice
By Mayo Clinic staffSee your doctor if you suspect you have polymyalgia rheumatica. Some people delay getting medical care because they think it's normal to have aching and stiffness as they grow older. But persistent pain is never normal. And because doctors can successfully treat polymyalgia rheumatica, you can be spared months or even years of unnecessary discomfort and disability.
If you've been diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica and experience new intense headaches, scalp tenderness, vision problems or achiness in your jaw, tell your doctor, as these may be symptoms of giant cell arteritis.
