How do you determine whether your pain is back pain or hip?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Move the leg: Try rotating your thigh in and out in a twisting motion. Usually people with back pain can move the hip and twist it without too much trouble. Arthritic hips have a hard time rotating or twisting.
