My oncologist said PCP should do x-rays to start. The x-ray will show arthritis. I have 7 vertebral fractures, 3 since my cancer, and those are attributed to osteoporosis. Good luck to you!
ps what is unusual is that the hip pain only happens with pressure, as with lying on it, not with movement

Hi, I have the same kind of pain so laying in bed at night (I sleep on my side) gets uncomfortable. They Diana’s bursitis. I have cancer in my lower spine (L5) and small lesions I’m both hips but they said the pain is from bursitis. Exercising my hips helps reduce the pain. Good luck hope that is helpful!

Have you, or can you push for a PET scan? I know you have been concerned about this hip for a while now and I think it would go a long way to either finding out the why and getting a resolution, or to easing your mind.
Do you have a doctor that might order this for you?
