Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
I generally see many cases like this at my sports clinic.I give them a splint,rest,analgesics,anti-inflammatory tablets and ice pack till the swelling reduces to some extent. Then i get an xray and if necessary an mri done to find out the extent of inflammation

In your case,there are 3 possibilities-
POSSIBILITY 1. hip problem- the pain may be due to the old surgery causing recurrence of some old problem or a implant causing the problem.

POSSIBILITY 2. soft tisue involvement- there may be a involvement of soft tissues outside the hip joint causing painful movements

POSSIBILITY 3.back problem-he seem to have compressed a nerve in the back somewhere that might be causing radiating pain in those regions.Possibility of a lumbar disc prolapse should be kept in mind.


I suggest you get an Xray as well as an MRI to find out the exact cause.
Physiotherapy,analgesics,anti-inflammatory drugs should help.

In all the above possibilities,all have a good prognosis and you should eventually get back to normal in coming few days.Nothing to worry about.Do get back to me after ur mri reports are ready.     

I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
