Hello,
They probably checked a sed rate, but polymyalgia rheumatica would be one option. Autoimmune diseases are an overall inflammatory process. If only a few areas are affected, it isn't that but localized wear and tear.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
