Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Location of pain just below the hip is not flank pain. The likely cause should be hip or spinal problems. You can follow up with your primary provider to get an X-ray of hip and spine done. If needed primary provider will refer you to an orthopedician.

Regards
