Here is a link to a leg/hip pain medical site.
There are bursae in the hip and the drawings show that.
http://www.aafp.org/afp/20000401/2109.html
Figure 1 shows them.
You can get a "strain" in your hip easily, esp as you age.
Try an ice pack on it, to see if that helps. Ice will take down an inflammation.
But that part of the body is complicated, bone, ligament and nerves all can cause pain there.
