What Does Sharp Pain Around The Hips Indicate?

Hi. I experience sharp pain around my hips and love handles upon touch. I have no other past medical history or chronic conditions other than obesity. I have advised doctors and massage therapists to avoid touching me there. The sensation is a sharp and sudden pain that makes me tense up and ball my fists.

PS. The symptoms have to be carefully assessed by your doctor to ensure that whether it requires immediate medical attention or long-term therapy.
