Several thoughts: Could be: hip fracture, sciatica, arthritis, tendonitis.. Is this recent, acute ? Have you tried any meds or treatments ? May need Dr eval, especially if this is recent, or if you've had a recent fall,,

Pinched Nerve: Sounds like you have a pinched nerve in your back. I would suggest seeing a pain/spine specialist to evaluate you further to evaluate what level and what can be done to treat you. There are interventional treatments besides medications and surgeries that might reduce or eliminate the pain altogether.
