[|Human|] For several weeks I have had left hip pain that increases with sitting.  I have abdominal pain in the pelvic region as well.  Sometimes I have to use a cane to walk. The pain is in my left leg to my foot sometimes and the entire side becomes stiff sometimes.  I can often walk it out but I have to be careful bending, lifting, sitting, or squatting.  I have had a total hysterectomy over a year ago.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. I would come up with these possibilities for this severe pain in the left hip joint, This includes. 1 Pinched nerve (sciatica) , diagnosis can be confirmed by C T scan and X-ray of lumbar sacrum region. As you mentioned that there is severe pain radiating to leg, foot, as all these symptoms are an indication of sciatica nerve involvement (pinched)2 Degeneration of head of femur. Diagnosis can be confirmed by C T scan & X-ray of head of femur.3 Osteoporosis, diagnosis can be confirmed by blood examination and bone density test.4 Osteoarthritis, diagnosis can be confirmed by C B C and E SR. Hysterectomy have not any role in this pain. In my opinion consult an orthopedic surgeon and get his opinion. Good luck.
