Hi, it appears to be the arthritis of the hip, or may be the sciatica. You may need to have MRI for diagnosis . So i advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe neurotropic injections for 10 days, and one injection every week. And pain killers when ever there is pain. Thank you.
