What diagnosis: age 64, no history trauma, pain left hip, left thigh, left lower leg and left foot?No relief except by oxycontin. Continues 2 weeks, blood studies negative, x rays all negative for fracture, dislocation or herniation.
I have no allergies or history of such problems or any problems to the areas. Came on suddenly, accompanied by constipation which cleared up with medication. ?????

If it runs down the back of the leg it could be sciatica.

Could be Osteoarthritis of the HIP, which was not mentioned on the x-ray but where they asked? At 64 you could expect some wear and tear of the hip, which would impinge the nerve and so the pain.
