Joint pain that is affection the leg nerve as well
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I understand your concern.
From what I understand it seems like you have a pain in the hip joint but also it affects the nerves as well (numbness is part of the nerve pinched). It may have come from overuse of that leg, or something that have caused inflamation in the hip joint and then it has caused dissalignment of the muscles and nerves of the leg.
What you can try before you go to the doctor is to try and slow down, be active but don't run or overuse your legs, keep a stick to support that side, take a painkiller regularely for 2-3 weeks and a local analgesic cream. If not better in 3 weeks or if worse then consider seeing a local doctor. You may need physical therapy.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.
