Hello,
The sudden pain the hip that goes down to knee and leg can be related to sciatica. This can be ruled out after an MRI scan of the lower spine and hip. This can be relieved with the help of proper medicines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Praveen Tayal, Orthopaedic Surgeon
