Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
As you have done an ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis acute abdomen or chronic kidney stones can be ruled out. Now the conditions we can suspect is problems with spine sacroiliac joints or hip joint.An examination with orthopedician can give clue for that and a X ray followed by MRI might be needed to confirm it.If it is sacroiliac joint arthritis a local corticosteroid injection will give pain relief. In case of problems with spine like osteochondrosis or disc herniation i advise muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine NSAIDs like aceclofenac neurotropic drugs and recommend physiotherapy along with this. Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further queries.
