I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

For my patients , if there is no history of any near injury that could be arithritis which is very common with age , over weight , changes in weather for proper diagnosis you may ask your physician for some lab investigations and imaging on right hip joint like X rays , MRI , CT to properly diagnose the cause of pain .
