Hip pain: Start with your General Physician or Urgent Care to start the diagnostic process and to make you as comfortable as possible until the cause of your pain can be elucidated. In addition to examination, history, medicine review, you may require imaging and lab tests. Your GP may want you to see an Orthopedic Surgeon or Rheumatologist based on diagnostic data. Go now.
