Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A sudden pain in the right hip and upper thigh can be due to a muscle pain related to wrong posture or a tear due to overuse or injury, can be due to calcium , magnesium or vitamin D3 deficiency or due to osteoarthritic changes in the hip joint.
The best way to find pout the problem is to consult your orthopedician and get a few blood tests and investigations like X-ray and MRI scan of the affected joint done.
Till then do take some rest, avoid weight bearing on the foot, do a hot compress and start taking a healthy diet rich in calcium.
