Just a quick thought on this one as I only have a minute or two! I suffer with this as well, so I know where you are coming from. The best way I have found is to ride without stirrups (In fact i didn't use them for nearly 2 years) which was the only way I could ride. It was a struggle to begin wth, but with practice and a good instructor it helped me so it might be worth a go! When i ride with stirrups now the onlly way is long! I'm not saying that it will work for you, but wanted to let you know that it did for me, so fingers crossed that you find something that helps.
I agree that most of the time exercises that you are told to do often make the problem worse - it took me over ten years to find a physio that has helped me to understand what is going on and take the rest of my legs into account, so its worth getting more than one opinion on this.
PM me if you want more details - I don't want to bore everyone!
