question: my husband 72 years old, in good health until 4 weeks ago, when his back started to bother him, went to chiopracter and then his arms were going numb, so went to Doctor who took him off his colestral  medicine.  Another week, arms still hurting so go back.  Did blood tests and Dr. gave us a sheet on Polymyalgia Rheumatica.  Started him on predisone and pain pills.  Pain still unbearable, but arms have stop hurting and swelling, but pain is in his right hip and leg like a severe cramp that won't let go.  Went back to Dr. took more blood for Lime disease, which came back negative.  Today he is lots of pain even with the pain pills, called Dr. office, said to go and get some vitamin D and call back in Monday.
