Visited rheumatologist - working my ass off

Okay.. I couldn't resist the post title.

End result of today's visit with the rheumatologist is that x-ray results of the knees and hips show no issues. Additionally, supporting blood work does not show any other ear marks that the joint pain is being caused by an immune system reaction. The doctor surmises that my being relatively inactive since the BMT has caused my gluteous maximus, gluteous minimus, and supporting connection tissue has gotten weak. Lovely. I have been prescribed physical therapy to literally strengthen my ass. If you know me and my twisted sense of humor, you can just imagine the struggle I endured during the office visit.
