I was trying to figure out if the right upper leg pain that goes around upper thigh and down the side of my leg that is unbearable which just started a couple weeks ago because I had to fly out of town for a funeral is hip related as I already have severe osteoarthritis of left hip that needs surgery after fell at work a year ago or would it be more related to the disc bulge at L5-S1 found when did my MRI hips 3 years ago but have never had any symptom or pain in back.
It is unlikely that OA of left hip will give pain in right lower limb, it could be because of L5 -S1 disc bulge. Kindly have a comprehensive review of your medical problems before you start any treatment -medical/surgical.
