I’m 44. Interesting idea. My pain is top of the back hips. But could be. It doesn’t sound like it’s treated any differently than arthritis or random joint pain? Is it worth getting diagnosed?

I'm not an expert but I think there are specific treatments depending on the cause.

I guess that's a balance against the time and money it will cost you to get a diagnosis vs the benefit. Where I live, cost would be about 3-5 hours and $300-1000 in consultations, blood tests and scans if you're not insured.
Benefits are: being able to halt ongoing joint degradation, preventing or quickly reacting to more impactful flare-ups, making better long-term choices in exercise, diet etc.
