Brief Answer:
Pain can be due to left ovary or ureter problem

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for posting in health care magic.
Pain above hip bone on left side can be due problem in the left ovary like ovarian Cyst which causes severe pain when it gets twisted.
Another common problem which can cause pain in that area is Ureteric stone.
Both lesions can be diagnosed with Ultrasound abdomen.
Hence ,I request you to consult your doctor and get Ultrasound abdomen.
If you come back with Ultrasound abdomen report, I will clarify further.
If the Ultrasound abdomen is normal, then the pain is due to musculo skeletal cause.
Nothing to worry.
If you have any queries, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
