Varies: There are a few potential causes and I would not hesitate to be seen for it. The two most common causes are an irritation of a nerve in the back which can cause pain or numbness into the hip and leg. The other very common cause is a bursitis/tendinitis of the hip which can usually be eliminated by a cortisone shot. An exam can distinguish between the two.
