A middle aged male presented with complaints of pain in the
right gluteal region. The pain started spontaneously and hampered him from
walking. The pain was worse with movement especially in getting up from sitting
and climbing stairs. It was relieved temporarily with the use of NSAIDs. There
was no associated back pain, no pain on the anterior or medial aspect of the
thigh or below the knee. There was no history of numbness or paresthesias. On
examination pain was reproduced particularly during extension and internal
rotation of the hip. There was no local tenderness and no obvious lesions on the
skin.
What is the cause of this patient's pain?
How is he to be evaluated?
