What Is Causing Pain In Lower Left Abdomen, Lower Back And Hip Area?
I am 42 years old and have been experiencing pain in my lower left abdomen, primarily at the crease of my leg in the pelvic area. It started a month ago and has only gone away for about a week. Sometimes the pain is burning or pulsating. It is manageable but uncomfortable. I am also feeling some pain in my lower back and frequently in my hip area. I called my OB/GYN and they thought it was muscular because the pain was located so low but exercise and ice/heat has not helped. Should I call my OB again or schedule an appointment with my GP?

HI.
Thanks for your query.
This type of pain is not in the territory of a Gynecologist at all.
Better visit your GP / Orthopedic surgeon.
From your history I do suspect there may be a problem in the spine and can be diagnosed by an MRI of the spine. The type, nature and area of pain are suggestive of this.
