Seek evaluation: There are a few possibilities and a primary care provider could help isolate the cause. Treatment is based on the cause. Possible causes are spinal or para-spinal issues, spinal nerves, hip or knee joint issues, side effects to medication and others. Thus, you can see why an in person evaluation would be important.
