hello,
Thanks for posting on HCM,
You maybe experiencing osteoarthritis of lumbar spine or hip-joint. It will be proper to do an x-ray of the hip or a CT scan.
You should also envisage paying a visit to a doctor who can take a proper look.
There is always the possibility of a referred pain due to an affected nearby structure which might not even be bone. That is why, I recommend you see a doctor first before we can draw any tangible conclusions.
Hope this helps
