Have symptoms that suggest PMR but blood tests (esr 5.0 and Crp is 1.3) both normal - gp is arranging referral but in the meantime it's affecting day to day life quite a lot as my hips are sore/stiff especially in the morning and I've had to drop most activities such as running and hiking that are the mainstay of our weekends (DH and DD both run and we would usually spend our weekends out and about - eg parkrun then hike on Saturday, longer run or walk on Sunday).
Has anyone been diagnosed with similar issues - or had an alternative diagnosis that also fits the symptoms? (Bilateral pain across hips, painful going from standing to sitting, difficulty in bending, painful/difficult to turnover in bed, increased fatigue and sometimes night sweats/increased temp (already on high dose hrt too).
