What Causes Pain In The Right-sided Hip And Crotch Area Long After Hip Surgery?

My husband had a fall 25 years ago off our porch and landed on his back. He had therapy and saw a chiropractor. Has not had any problems until recently. Also had right hip surgery 6 years ago and developed bursitis in his hip. He has had several steroid shots for the hip pain. Recently he complains about right hip pain. He went to a second doctor who took an x-ray of his right hip. After looking at the X-ray, he said that his hip is in tact and could see no wearing of his hip. Bursitis is possible but he also suggested that it could be a problem with his back. My question - could the pain he is experiencing in his right hip and crotch area be caused from his back? Thanks - I am really perplexed and do not know where to turn. Could there be something else wrong? Do we need to see a special doctor and if so what should the doctor specialize in? Thanks

This may be due to sacroilliac joint dysfunction or hip muscles weakness?tightness? .. will have to check his posture, gait and sacroilliac movement.. if problem with these can give such pain.
