Hi there, thanks for your question.

It is indeed quite unusual to have iliofemoral ligament pain at 24 years of age. Since the pain has persisted for more than 2 months and there is no significant pain reduction with analgesics, the next logical step would be to do an MRI of the hip joints. I would suggest you to consult your physician and request him about the idea of doing an MRI of pelvis with both hop joints.( usullay done both hips for comparison).Also an ESR of 40 in an otherwise normal individual can suggest inflammation or mild infection which can be ruled out via MRI.

Hope this helps.

All the best.Regards.

DR.SBK.
