What Causes Pain In Leg In An Osteoarthritis Patient?

I was trying to figure out if the right upper leg pain that goes around upper thigh and down the side of my leg that is unbearable which just started a couple weeks ago because I had to fly out of town for a funeral is hip related as I already have severe osteoarthritis of left hip that needs surgery after fell at work a year ago or would it be more related to the disc bulge at L5-S1 found when did my MRI hips 3 years ago but have never had any symptom or pain in back.
