Phil,
I developed pain at the front of my hips (hip flexors) about 3 yrs ago. I'd been doing lots of Pilates for core strength and feel that may have been a factor. I did the physio thing for months but the pain steadily got worse. I saw a specialist, had X-rays and was told I had osteo arthritis of the hips. The pain became extreme and I was put on drugs. I was told I'd need a total hip replacement ... metal hips are not a good look for climbing !
Anyway, based on a theory I had, I asked my wife to give very hard massage on the sides of my lower spine ... initially every day for an hour. For the past two years I've been completely pain free. My wife massages my lower back once or twice a week now.
My opinion is that doctors have great gaps in knowledge and drugs or going in with the knife is often seen as a quick fix, that may not be necessary. I am a lot older than you and your problem many be quite different but the above may help.
