THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE, I WENT TO THE DOCTOR YESTERDAY, HE COULDN'T TELL SO HE SENT ME TO  A BONE SCAN AND A LUMBAR XRAY AND PELVIC. I JUST GOT THE XRAY REPORT, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT THEY SAID ITS ARTHRITS AND HAVEN'T GOT THE BONE SCAN BACK YET. THIS HURTS A HELL OF A LOT MORE THAN ARTHRITS. OF COURSE I NEVER HAD THIS EITHER, BUT THE NEWS COULD BE WORSE. TAKING PAIN MEDS ALSO MEDS FOR INFLAMATION. BACK TO THE COUCH.

It really sounds like it's something like a pinched nerve in your spinal area... I had lots of pain both sharp and dull... in the area of the outer thigh and outer calf on the left side,,, numbness on my big toe.. along with pain was the L4 L5 nerve root....
I understand thats not what you asked...
check google for a human body nerve root graphic to see if you pain is where those nerve endings are on your hip and such... I really hope you didn't slip a disc...
my best...
