Many possibilites: At 31, it commonly is a strain, if it just happened.  If it's been there for a while or has been happening over and over, then it could be several things.. A hip flexor tear (rectus or iliopsoas), capsule tear, hip labral tear, arthritis, cam lesion, early avascular necrosis, or stress fracture.  Unless it just happened today and you're walking without pain, i would see an orthopedic surgeon.
