Hi
Causes around hip , sacral iliac joint in pelvis or lower portion of spine have to be assessed by orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment of the cause.
Till you seek appointment, try using walking stick in other arm on normal side to keep serial load on affected side, do hot packs,avoid bending forward, wear a lower spinal brace and apply voltage gel kr any OTC anti inflammatory gel twice daily after hot packs.
MRI Or x-ray hip n lower spine will aid in diagnosis
