Hip pain: Need more info to give u direction. How long have u had his , ? Any history of an injury . Is the pain constant or related to activity ? Is it worse with walking ? Does it improve with NSAIDs ? Where is the pain located ? In the lower back and or the groin ? U can be seen by a good gp , urgent care dr or Orthopaedic dr.

NO: The ER will send you out to get an appt. with a physician. See a new local physician on your own and see if you need to see an orthopedic surgeon to clarify the diagnosis. It is bursitis vs arthritis
