What Causes Right-sided Hip Pain While Having Lumbar Spinal Stenosis?
I developed pain in my right hip about a week or so ago. I didn t do anything to injure it but I am having trouble sleeping at night - I can t sleep on either side, it hurts even while I am sitting and i have a hard time walking. I was holding my infant granddaughter today and tried to walk and the pain was so bad that I only managed a few steps. I have lumbar spinal stenosis but this is in a totally different location. Can this be that irritated or something completely different?

Hello,
This could be from either a local problem at the hip like arthritis, or from a progression of the spinal stenosis. Some of the spinal nerves to innervate the hip so it is possible that the stenosis has progressed. You will need an exam by your doctor in person to sort this out.
