What Causes Severe Pain In The Upper Leg Despite Taking Hydrocodone?

I am in severe pain of my upper leg. The pain hits when I rotate my foot/leg when standing. My doctor has proscribed hydrocodone while specialists figure it out (nearly a month now). Back specialist has ruled out spinal problem. Now hip damage has been suggested but if pain occurs only inside/front upper leg when moving - feels like I am walking on a broken leg, is it not more likely to be a muscle or tendon in the leg itself?
