I suspect that if you were having a real hard time with your hip to a point where a short sprint will keep you from walking on one your legs for the rest of the day, you would be at your doctor's office seeking medical advice, medicine to relieve the pain, and would do whatever to keep the pain away.
Why in the world would you not do the same thing for your dog? He cannot speak for himself, and is totally dependent on you to give him relief.
Take him to a vet and do whatever needs to be done. You owe that to your dog!
Seeking advice from an Internet forum does not count as seeking medical treatment.
I am sorry but I get so mad when people do not care for their animals appropriately.
