@pah17 I found a diagram with from the and back views of the body with the upper "girdle" (shoulders upper back) and the lower "girdle" (hips, upper thighs) highlighted in light red shading.
It was on: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/25215-polymyalgia-rheumatica
Scroll down to see the body diagram
Good article all around.

@pah17 I believe they have MRI or other scan photos on the video I posted yesterday. They show inflammation in the hips, shoulders, back bursas. I was also interested to learn that the primary inflammation is in the insertions (connections) between the tendons and muscles with bursas having secondary inflammation. For me, the bursas in my shoulders were the first to appear painful. The other areas followed. I had quite a classic presentation of symptoms and blood work.
