Watch the maximum suggested doses of NSAIDS for side effects as well. Have you been retested at intervals for
CRP and SED rate? Don’t give up on visits to check your
cardiac risk profile and kidney function. Have you tried
a university med center specialty clinic. Low dose steroids are manageable if you do have PMR. I am a believer in
the anti-inflammatory diet lifestyle and a routine of stretching and walking if you are able.

Thank you for your thoughts. I have routine blood work for a general watch. I've had 3 SED etc over the space of the 3 years, always normal. But I know after following this group that I have PMR. I am very much better and don't want to start with a new doctor and steroids at this point if I can help it. I can now do most everything I want, albeit with some pain, but tolerable. Including exercise and hopefully back on my horse. We'll see about that last one. Best of luck!
