Structures of the large intestine on the left side of the abdomen closest to the hip bone are the sigmoid flexure and the sigmoid colon. The sigmoid flexure is the part of the colon where it curves inward toward the rectum while the sigmoid colon is the last segment of the large intestine before the rectum.

Any hip pain that does not improve in a short period of time should be checked out by a qualified medical professional. First of all, minor muscle strain or ligament sprain can resolve which rest, but they can also develop into more chronic, nagging, long-term strain and repeated hip injury.
The sudden onset of pain can be one indicator of a more serious issue. Sudden swelling and popping noises are also signs to see a doctor. Symptoms, however, do not have to be sudden to be serious. Signs of infection, such as minor pain or swelling, can occur and should be treated immediately as well.
