Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The pain you said may well be from your hip joint. A common cause is osteoarthritis . Specially if this has been for long time .So I think you better see an orthopedic surgeon who would assess you in more details and may need get an X-ray.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
