Yes, if there is severe pain and it is not getting relieved after physiotherapy then get MRI of the thigh. It will help in find out if it is ligament strain or any effusion inside hip joint. Some time it can be a labral or cartilage damage. If we have correct diagnosis in hand then we can plan right treatment.
