question: I developed pain in my right hip about a week or so ago. I didn t do anything to injure it but I am having trouble sleeping at night - I can t sleep on either side, it hurts even while I am sitting and i have a hard time walking. I was holding my infant granddaughter today and tried to walk and the pain was so bad that I only managed a few steps. I have lumbar spinal stenosis but this is in a totally different location. Can this be that irritated or something completely different?
