I have a right sided hip pain what has lasted for about 2-3 years. This pain feels between deep inside My GP said it was sciatica 1 year ago and it does come and go but recently this paid has got deeper and is felt very bluntly now between by abdomen and upper leg. Sometimes the pain causes me to slow down and occassionally impairs walking. This pain comes when I am both active and inactive. My GP put it down to wear and tear as my job used to be an archaeologist but I havn t dug in over 9 months. Im 35, female and generally healthy.
