I have a dull ache in the area of my left hip joint. I also consistently have some pain in my abdomen near that area but I don't know if that is related to the hip pain. I feel it throughout the day but it seems to get worse at night, especially if I lay on my right side. It helps the pain if I turn to my left side but it is not alleviated completely. If I turn on my back the pain is slightly more intense than if I am on my left side and the abdominal pain is more noticeable. It does not hurt for me to move my hip, in fact it seems to hurt the most when I am sitting or lying down. I have tried the maximum dosage of Ibuprofen which seems to do nothing for the pain. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate the pain as a 6 at its greatest intensity. It is what I would imagine an arthritic ache to feel like but I'm not sure of that. Does anyone know what is causing this?

This keeps me awake at night and reduces quality of sleep.
