Can you tell us what thr Rheumy said first time. Also how long you have been with the problem and why you were refered to a Rheumy. Also have you had any blood tests?
Any X-rays and or MRIs done or ordered?
What we toss around here about PMR/GCA forms a recognize able pattern that we can fit pieces of personal info into. At your service.

So you could ask your doctor to consider that and try a moderate dose of prednisolone to see if you get a good response - nothing lost if it doesn't work and it is one technique used by a UK PMR expert and his team.
Other than that we can't offer much in the way of suggestions - we're PMR/GCA "experts", not so up on general rheumatology! Good luck.
