Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.Yes hip pain can be felt in the knee. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Furthermore I advise you to undergo vitamin D test as vitamin D deficiency can be cause of such pains. If found low you can take its supplements. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
