We still need histry: There are several possibliities including depending on your age hip arthritis or other hip condition. There is also the possibility of sciatica, pyriformis syndrome, radiculopathy, knee arthritis just to name a few. Thus an evaluation with your primary MD would evaluate your history for peripheral vascular disease, edema or other systemic condition. Then they can refer to Ortho, if appropriate.
