If your X-ray is normal, the pain near your left hip is most likely due to a soft tissue problem, such as a muscle strain, ligament sprain, or Iliotibial band syndrome, rather than a bone issue. These conditions can cause pain on movement, walking, or pressing the area, and usually happen due to overuse, sudden movement, or minor injury. In most cases, it improves with rest, avoiding heavy activity, gentle stretching, and using a hot pack; you can also take a mild pain reliever if needed. However, if the pain is severe, does not improve within a few days, or is associated with weakness or difficulty walking, you may need further evaluation, such as an MRI, to rule out a muscle tear or other issues. It is best to consult a doctor if symptoms persist.
