Hip/Left Buttock Pain

I am in my 40’s and while the pain was unbearable, my periods only lasted a few days a month. When the pain in my left buttock started I sought out an endo surgeon. I had excision surgery 5 years ago. 30 lesions confirmed to be endo where removed. I had 3 surgeons working around my bladder, colon etc. They did an amazing job overall and I felt so good after surgery and I can’t remember when I only needed normal doses of pain killer for my period. The hip pain was gone for months, it crept back but I was managing it with stretching and hip exercises. A few years later now, my periods again come with some of the weird bladder and colon pain but not sever enough that I can’t manage. But my hip pain came back even more intensely. I feel muscle weakness and numbness along with stabbing pain in my left buttock. I just don’t know if I should see an endo surgeon now a physical therapist? I did so much research and read that endo removed with excision surgery doesn’t grow back. But clearly something is back. I can cope with the regular pain, but is the hip pain a side effect of my muscles stressed from my period or could there be endo in there? What type of doctor best to see about it? The hip pain seems to come a few days before my period and intensity a few days after my period. I usually am pain free for a couple of weeks until it begins with breast tenderness, hip pain, period, then excruciating hip pain.
