For what it's worth I have had knee pain for years and found out through two doctors one knee and one hip, that there is a large nerve connecting them, possibly same thing with your hip. First I had the knee surgery which was partial replacement so it wasn't as bad as full still two weeks in rehab. Year later it was a hip replacement which was a lot easier. There are several doctors well known in The villages you can go to and there is some these days can do side incisions, which are supposed to be much easier to rehab.
God made us great and everything is interconnected unfortunately, good luck

Tried two different Chiropractors with electric treatments, 10's unit, stretching table, no relief.
My son suggested one day maybe it's your hip.
Back to see a different orthopedic doctor.
She said we can tell if it's your hip with a shot in my hip.
If it helps, even in a short term, we found the problem.
Had the shot, instantly no pain for the first time in 10 months.
Yes, Virginia there is a God. 
I get a new hip in June.
Has anyone had hip surgery?
