I wonder if anyone out there has experienced what I have in the past year: I was diagnosed as overtrained in Nov/Dec, then as having polymyalgia rheumatica with a lot of aches and pains in the shoulders and pelvis/groin area. Now, anytime I try to swim more than a minimal amount or try to do any exercise I get these symptoms. My body seems to be telling me I'm totally stressed out and should just lay off - but for how long? My question is, has anyone had PMR resulting from overtraining? (PMR usually occurs in women over 50 so that limits the sample)
