Hello,
Your symptoms are not suggestive of a pinched nerve. Instead, I would think about a bone disorder or a strained muscle. For this reason, I would recommend performing a hip X ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, blood electrolytes, vitamin D plasma levels).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
