Hi,

I'm so sorry to hear about this pain that you have reported. I have reviewed this information fully and the best way to address this concern is to get the hips examined and also do an X-ray of the hip. This will provide the exact answer. I will suggest you continue with the pain medications as advised by your doctor already, until we establish the exact diagnosis and establish a management plan. I will suggest that you see your primary care physician again to kick start with this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
