Hi,
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be relatd to chronic degeneration to the coxofemoral joint. For this reason, I recommend performing a joint X-ray study and checking inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR).
Consulting with a Rheumatologist may be needed. Steroids may help improve the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
