Suggest Remedy To Relieve Pain In Left Hip

Hello, I am a 46 yo man. I have always been active and an athlete. I played football and basketball throughout highschool and college. I played both for my university so i was in good shape. I had a car accident during my workup, they doctors found i have spondylosis, spondylolysis and spondylolysthesis. This happened when i was 35. I stopped playing sports as competitively as before but put on too much weight. I now weight 230lbs at 6'1. I have always been pretty big, playing weight was 215lbs. However, now I have some back pain but the pain in my left hip has become unbearable. It is often difficult to get up and walk. After a while of walking around, i can move ok but if i rotate my hip in or out, my God, the pain is terrible. It feels like someone stabbing me in the front part of my hip reaching deep inside it. I still play around with my colleagues on the basketball court but not very competitive now. I can't push off well or change directions well. I have no loss of power except due to pain. Can you give me some advice on alleviating the pain? I now live in China and the access to pain meds is very limited. Even if i could get them, i don't want to take them. Please help!
