Suggested allopurinol & NSAID for 3 weeks. after 2 months now stared walking again pain is coming. Should I continue medicine or any other investigations required?

Uric acid 6.40 does not suggest hyperuricemia to me. Get tests redone at a reputed centre. Plan to get inflammatory blood markers done and if pain in hip persists.  Plan for MRI.
