It may well be polymyalgia. It is primarily a clinical diagnosis as there are no specific lab tests for the disorder.

PMR is always possible, however there are things that do not match typical PMR, such as the type of pain, affecting multiple joints, numb patches suggesting neuropathy, elevated WBC and ESR. A rheumatology consult may help in clarifying.
