A member asked:

My hip bone hurts when i press on it. the pain radiates down my leg sometimes. i have an appointment with the doctor in one week. any idea of cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Back injuries?: Pain radiating down the leg could be a nerve root pain, especially if it radiates below the knee. Your doctor will look into your history of injuries, back pain, and numbness or weakness in the leg. Sometimes sacroiliac joint or hip joint pain also radiates down the leg. If the pain turns out to be in the joint, your doctor will think of a possible joint infection (lyme disease, for example).
