What Causes Pain Above Hips?

Can be nerve root irritation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain that you have can be related to a muscle spasm in the area or due to a mild nerve root irritation. It can also be related to a Vitamin B 12 deficiency.
In addition to gabapentin that you are already taking you can start with Vitamin B 12 supplements and do a hot fomentation in the area for relief. In case the pain is acute and severe then you can consult your orthopedician and get a combination of pain killer with muscle relaxant prescribed.
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.
