Brief Answer:
Can be due to osteoarthritis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain outside the hip that you have can be due to osteoarthritic changes in the hip joint. This can be due to low levels of calcium or vitamin D3 or a minor capsular inflammation. Avoid the painful movements, take mild anti inflammatory and do a hot compress and see if it helps.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
