message: 'Causes' mentions joints being attacked but doesn't seem to explain why there is muscle pain.
Are nerves or muscles also attacked ? Rod57 (talk) 21:12, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Polymyalgia means 'pain in many muscles'

message: The article says that women are twice as likely to have polymyalgia rheumatica than men. However, this website:
http://www.patient.co.uk/health/Polymyalgia-Rheumatica.htm
says that women are three times more likely to have the condition than men. Does any one know which is the correct ratio? ACEOREVIVED (talk) 20:30, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

message: I don’t know how to address this, but the following is exactly backwards as defining the ESR—a larger value means the cells settle faster (at least that’s what the ESR article says):
One blood test usually performed is the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) which measures how fast the patient's red blood cells settle in a test tube. The slower the red blood cells settle, the higher the ESR value (measured in mm/hour), which means inflammation is present.2603:3016:101:BA00:5050:96E1:8FD1:EB8C (talk) 23:06, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
