Man in 70s, terrible stiff muscles aches worst in am, sed rate 113...pmr? awaiting other labs. other possible dx's

Really seems PMR: Those are classic symptoms of pmr, which is treatable with steroids. Not many other diseases are going to get you that high of a sed rate in that age group. Good luck!
