### Patient: Doctor, I've been experiencing stiffness and pain in my shoulders, neck, and hip for a few weeks now. I also have a low-grade fever and feel tired all the time. Do you know what might be causing this?
### Doctor: It sounds like you might have polymyalgia rheumatica. The required medical tests for this condition include a lipid panel to check your cholesterol levels, a mammography or examination of your breasts to rule out breast cancer, a bone density scan to check for osteoporosis, a rectal examination to check for prostate problems or other issues in that area, and physical therapy exercises to help improve your range of motion and reduce pain. In some cases, a biopsy may also be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
