It could be SI joint dysfunction. I have it .. three doctors say.
I have hip pain, thigh pain, groin pain, and leg pain (down to about the back of my knee).
Injections did not help. I had a piece of bone fused in .. but it did not help. I did PT with little relief. A TENS unit helps the most. I bought one for home use.
Prolonged standing or sitting aggravates the joint. Doing movements such as with doing the laundry and vacuuming floors really sets the pain off.
I make sure I get up from sitting every hour. I avoid prolong standing. I usually get up during the night and walk a few minutes .. just long enough to let my mini-poodle out. Too long and I can’t get back to sleep. I try not to overdo in doing housework. Rest between chores or not do laundry and floors in same day.
Best wishes, ZeeGee

I've also had several SI joint, L4/L5 and L5/SI and trigger point injections. Each has helped for a while, however right now the pain comes when i walk too long, get up and try to move initially, down my leg front and sice, groin, etc.
My next steps are a second lumbar facet block then if I still get the relief I got with the first one Monday of this week, an ablation.
These issues are not fun!

Mine isn't that bad. It's a re-occurring groin pain that only acts up every so often...so I'm very grateful for that.
