Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I suggest you to take X-ray of hip and leg left side and consult a orthopedician to rule out sciatica. Mean while I advise you to take tablet Hifenac D BD (twice daily after food) for 3 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
