Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I understand your concern.
Pain radiated to hip, going down to knee & calf indicates pressure on sciatic nerve,the pressure seems to be mostly at be at sciatic notch ( because of your specific symptoms of pain at particular movement of hip ) or it may be higher up at spinal level ( due to vertebral or disc problem)
Excess weight always increases the suffering in lower extremity pain.
You need CT scan/ MRI for diagnosis & an orthopedic surgeons guidance for specific treatment.
Thanks.
