Normal MRI: If indeed a recent MRi was normal the cause of the pain might be in the lower spine or ischial tuberosity, causing what we call referred pain.

Hip Pain: Hip and SI joint pain have a great deal of overlap. There are many things that can cause these symptoms, such as bone deformities, muscle and ligament injuries, as well as bursal abnormalities. If there is a history of developmental hip problems, further evaluation would be beneficial to make sure there is no lasting effects.
