Diagnosed with RA last year. Hip pain makes walking hard

I guess I meant to ask the question.. should I go back on prednisone to get over this hump?
Also my dr is not sure if I have PMR or RA.

To determine PMR or all doctor has to do is take your Sedimentation rate also known as ESR. That will tell him if you have PMR. If it is, you have to increase your prednisone rheumatoid there are some some very good drugs which you should be on.

Hi, I had severe hip pain shortly before I was diagnosed with RA. The dr said I had well tolerated hip dysplasia, and that I was bone on bone in one hip. The only relief that worked was hip replacements.
