Brief Answer:
Possible hip problem

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I understand your concern. This seems like a nerve damage or hip problem kind of pain that can be experienced as such burning sensation. Any pain that repeats and does not go away after a few days needs further evaluation. Sweating can be associated to this or alternatively, it can be a symptom of reduced kidney function.

I suggest you start by doing a hip X-ray, as well as blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels and then go from there, depending on the result.

I hope this helps. if you have further questions I'd be happy to answer them.

Wishing you good health.
Best Wishes
