* So far as symptoms narrated here, hip pain can be part of local pathology or referred pain from remote condition.

* Local conditions include joint pathology, disturbances with blood supply of head of femur or others ; while referred pain can be from nerve compression, muscle or tendon stretch at surrounding levels.

* The cardinal signs of physical examination are vital to evaluate the issue before deciding the need of x-ray or MRI.

Hope I have answered your query.
