The lower back can definitely cause hip pain as can the sacroiliac joint. A PT can sometimes be more helpful than an orthopedist in diagnosing and coming up with treatment for this so hope you can go soon. In my experience my orthopedist, though nice enough, spends only a few minutes because the main goal of the appointment is to assess whether I need surgery or not. And he sees a gazillion patients. You do not need surgery so the doctor didn't have much to evaluate! I found an orthopedist who does not do surgery and spends 45 minutes with patients in pain. Pain management might help too. But I would try PT first!

Yeah this Orthopedist does not do surgery and spent 5 minutes and didn't answer any questions except to say its not your hip.

When my low back L5-S1 spondylolysis goes out of "joint" the chiropractor gets it back in place. For me, all it takes is a little push to move it. I do exercises I found on PT web sites and that keeps it in place. If my low back and into the left hip starts to be painful, I do the exercises a few times a day. Can't afford PT or chiropractic care longterm. I have the entire spine herniated, bulging, scoliosis so I have to be diligent and take care of myself.
