Not great. She thinks my problem is physical with the MRI showing some back nerve issues.
That doesnt explain all the other pain or the morning pain that mostly gets better later in the day. She wants me to see a pain management specialist, but I dont know if I will.

I have had nothing but bad experiences with those docs. Meanwhile serious exercise seems to be helping some, especially legs, back, and stomach work. No prednisone. Just gutting it out from here I guess.
But thanks for trying! The other rheum doc I went to last week just said "you dont have PMR because prednisone doesnt work and had nothing further to suggest except to get hip therapy. I am done with doctors, this time I think for good.

I am so sorry! I was hoping she could help you. I do seriously work out every day as well. Even on days when I am not feeling it. It helps. I have recently started trying to get stretching in daily (don't always make it though) esp. for the hips.
