Brief Answer:
You need to keep observing the same.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Since the pin-prick sensation on your left hip just lasts for seconds and then stops, you may need to observe the same for some time-if it improves or worsens.
In the case, if it worsens further, you may need to undergo a MRI of Lumbar spine to see for any nerve root compression due to disc problem.
However, in that case, it would be better if you personally visit a Neurologist so that the investigations can be guided in a better way.
Meanwhile, please tell some details to that I can answer this well further-
1)Do you have any known illness?
2)Do Since when are you having these symptoms?
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ajay Panwar, Neurologist

You need to observe if the symptoms persist or worsen in the coming days; and if so, it would be desirable to get examined by a Neurologist.
