I did have X-rays and MRI of my hips and I do not have a degenerative joint but do have soft tissue tears bilaterally in gluteal tendons and hamstrings. This is painful.

Have you ever had a MRI of your cervical and lumbar spine to see if you have any compression/flattening of spinal cord/nerve roots or nerves causing your lower body symptoms? Did you see a neurologist for EMG/nerve conduction studies of your lower limbs? Did you ever get a neuropathy check of bloodwork and small fiber neuropathy skin punch biopsy of thigh/ankle?
