   Rob,

I also do know kinds of hip pain very well.
In my case, I'm quite sure it always was caused by irritation of the sciatic
nerve.
This kind of pain is able to reach into your toes, though the cause is mostly
related to the back bone where the irritation takes place.
You should take this into consideration.
