@paelwell I had pain which I peeled one symptom at a time and one of them was hip pain which proved to be in my coxifemoral joints - bilateral. All of that pain was eliminated within in one week by simply learning to walk and keeping my feet and knees a hip's width apart at all times.

I refer to it as sit, stand, walk like a man. Sometimes it is known as SLAM - Sit Like a Man. As a lady brought up in the South this was a titanic shift in basic posture but the relief was immediate. I resisted steroids so I was stuck finding other solutions. Not an easy path but beats taking an extra 5 or 10 mg per day of prednisone for who knows how long to overcome that specific inflammation.

I did have some leg weakness that corrected at the same time.
