I too only have problems from my waist down. I have chosen not to take steroids and have spent the last three years trying to identify other causes for several of my symptoms. I found an orthopedic doctor who diagnosed with bi-lateral Ischiofemoral impingement and taught me to keep my feet a hips width apart at all times. This takes practice since ladies are taught from birth to keep your feet together. I call it "walk, sit, sleep like a man". This reduced my hip and leg pain significantly within a few days - I mean like 50-60%. It has also given me back range of motion and strength. I believe the inflammation in the body from PMR caused this problem to flare and present with pain. Every other doctor never considered anything except PMR. To this day I think of that orthopedic doctor as a miracle in my life. The right doctor at the right time. He also has me using a cane but that is a small price to pay to be mobile. Let us know if this helps you as well.
