yes: The l4/5 facets can give referred pain to your hip. Follow up with your pain specialist to discuss.

Possible: Facet joints can have referred patterns of pain that radiate into different parts of the back and legs. It could be that stretching out the joint capsule could cause this issue. It should resolve as the cortisone takes affect and any fluid in the joint is absorbed by the body.
