My SED rate is .59

any comments on the meaning. Also both feet have been very swollen for days. Is this part of PMR?

Don't put everything down to pmr, quite possible it is water retention. Your Gp can prescribe tablets for this. Give s/he a call and ask.

Have you tried sitting with you legs, higher than you head, or sleeping with a pillow under your legs, I found this helped.

Yes I have been doing your suggestions . With tomorrow Monday I will be able to call my GP

thank you , Lodger

Both are part of PMR yes - but it doesn't mean that is what is causing your raised ESR. That ESR is high, there is something going on and if you haven't got any simple infection or already been dx'd with PMR and it remains high it needs investigating. But PMR is a raised ESR together with a load of others signs and symptoms.
