No one knows for sure what exactly causes polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). But rest easy, because this condition usually goes away just as mysteriously as it came. I suspect the root cause of PMR is related to neurogenic inflammation, which means that the nervous system for some reason is triggering an inflammatory reaction. Neurogenic inflammation is now being mentioned in professional circles as being related to everything from migraine headaches and sciatica. Again, no one knows for sure what triggers this type of inflammation.
The best thing you can do is the focus on your health and follow up with your doctor.
