What Causes Recurring Pain Above The Hip Bone?
I have been having a dull pain on my right side just above my hip bone that will come and go. Sometimes it will throb and then quit and about 30-40 seconds it will throb again and I guess I would like to have some idea what it could be. There have been a few nights that there is an ache on that same side that will last for 2 or 3 hours

Hello,
The two possibilities are coccalgia and sciatica.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or tramadol for pain relief.
If symptoms persists better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
