What Causes Pain In My Groin And Hip Joint?

I am having pain in my groin and hip joint. At this point I can t put any weight on it. I was sent to an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation for total hip replacement. Surgeon says he sees no reason for a hip replacement or the amount of pain I m having. X-ray shows some arthritis in the hip. Surgeon has ordered a MRI to see all the structures better. I have had 2 cortisone injections into my hip joint. These took care of the pain for only a few days. What might he be looking for on the MRI? What other conditions might be causing my hip joint pain?

pain may be due to initial stages of avascular necrosis of hip.As Xray is not indicative of AVN of hip and it suggest arthritis it may be initial stage of AVN.There are lot of other conditions causing pain such as synovitis of hip tuberculosis ankylosing spondyltis and many more.MRI is advised to rule out all this causes and if you are having initial stage of AVN it can be diagnosed on MRI better than XRay.
