Possible: Hip Joint pain generally is in the front of the leg or groin area where the leg meets your true hip. If it hurts in the back of the leg/buttock junction it could be sciatica (pinched nerve), spinal facet joint pain, sacroiliac joint pain or even piriformis muscle pain. I would suggest to be evaluated fully you should see a spine specialist to address your concerns appropriately.

See details: If you mean the pain is in the buttock, it is unrelated to be hip pain. It is more likely to originate in the lower back. Have a doctor evaluate the problem if you are concerned.
