Strange left hip problem

<div>Hello, </div><div>I am 26y male and I have had chronic (3y+) left hip pain - possibly a result of first marathon overtraining. Alas, doctors have been of little help so I am hoping maybe somebody had a similar issue... </div><div>
</div><div>***Issue***</div><div>The pain is most prominent immediately under left hip bone (in front, as well as slightly to the side), especially when I try eg to put socks on while standing, while doing lateral leg raises (to some extent) and when I walk a lot (after a few hours I need to sit down). The pain level varies from day to day 0-5 (out of 10). Sometimes it radiates into the middle of the hip.</div><div>
</div><div>***Diagnosis so far***</div><div>I have had MRI and other tests (no issues found), visited three doctors and two physios. No help, apart from "let's do a steroid injection and see what happens", which I didn't do. Good but temporary response to NSAIDs. </div><div>
</div><div>
</div><div>Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas, would be highly appreciated... What could it be and what could I do to confirm the diagnosis?
Thank you so much for your help and time! </div>

Thank you for your reply.
I live in central London. I had the displeasure of using the services of the Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health (ISEH), allegedly the leading facility used by Olympic sportsmen etc...
