Sclerosis due to cancer or treatment?

I recently developed sclerosis in my left hip area...painful to sit on a hard surface. PSMA tech wrote 'sclerosis developed consistent with treatment'. Oncologist seems unconcerned. I've read that sclerosis can sometime happen when ADT reduces tumor size, which means the bone has to adjust. The recent PSMA didn't show any tumor growth in that region. I've been on ADT for about 9 months, although I did go about 30 days without anything after doctor discontinued Firmagon and then Zytiga severely elevated my liver enzymes. Right now I've been back on Firmagon for about 6 weeks and Casodex for about 30 days. My testosterone levels have been consistently low and my PSA has been at 0.12 the last two months.

Anyone has experience with hip pain like this? I have not done any radiation or chemo and do not have any history of pain in this area.
