oh the pain

Kara,
There are many possible things which could be causing your hip pain. I really think you need to tell your doctor, and see about getting whatever tests may help determine the cause - or causes - for you. That will help point the way to treatment. But for many of us, there are multiple causes. Spines and nerves are so complex, sometimes the doctors can't tell for certain, but it sound like you need to have your hip pain assessed.

ps palady my new pain dr is also an othro.
