The current version of the entry mentions muscle pain several times.There is no evidence of muscle involvement in this disease either by biochemical tests (eg the CK or creatine kinase blood tests) or muscle biopsy. The name polymyalgia rheumatica is misleading as the evidence indicates it is a disease with inflammation of the joint lining cell (synovium) and not muscle cells at all.Polysynovitis would be a more accurate term in terms of pathological changes.
