Suggest Treatment For Sharp Hip Pain

Hi I experience sharp pain in my left hip and lower back on Saturday and went for a pelvis and lumbar x-ray today. When I am in a neutral standing position and lift my knee up and out left, I experience discomfort and bone hitting bone sensations.The pelvis x-ray indicated a well-corticated opacity is projected over the left superior pubic ramus measuring 1.2 x 1.1cm . What is this opacity and is there anything wrong with me?

Hi,

It looks like the bone protruding is compressing nerve branches that is causing pain. Opacity refers to white particle in X-ray that have bone origin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
