my sister just 12 years old. she has some pain in left Hip area when she mooving or walking.
I go to a an Orthopedic for her Pain. He examined her and told that this is a muscle pain.
She gave her some pain killer and told her to take some Rest for 1 week.

But, After 3 days when the pain is not cure then I gone to Neurologist.
He told that this is may be Disc Prolapse and he prescribe for test of MRI, NCV Lower LIMBS,Uric Acid, RA Factor,CRP and ASA.

Well, your sister hasn't really been diagnosed with anything yet.  The neuro has suggested what sounds like a herniated disc putting pressure on a nerve.  In some cases that requires surgery.  In others, committed physical therapy will get rid of the pain.  The MRI will determine if the disc is actually the problem, and how severe it is.  In addition, the neuro is throwing a wide net with the other testing so it sounds like she's in great hands.  I know how difficult it is to have to sit and wait for test results, but that's all you can do for now.  Try to stay calm and think positively.  Whatever the problem may be, medical science can either cure it or effectively treat the symptoms.  Please stay in touch and let us know when those test results come in!
