What Could Be The Reason For Having Burning Pain In My Right Hip Radiating To My Knee?
I have been having a burning pain in my right hip radiating down to my knee. It occurs about 4AM to 6AM every morning. I am a side sleeper and if I turn over, it goes away but comes back within 45 minutes. It usually goes away by late morning but sometimes it lasts the entire day. I m 70 years old. Thanks for any advice.

Hi
Thanks for writing your query
the most likely cause could be hip joint arthritis needs physical examination to confirm. Because in most of the hip diseases there is referred pain to knee. Are you able to squat or sit cross legs?
My advice would be do hip exercises along with pain killer like ibuprofen for few days, vitamin B12 also helps.
Take care and wish you good health
