I have tightness and sometimes pain on the sides of my hips. worse when turning corners while walking. better with rest and/or ice. what could it be?

Bursitis?: Sounds like it could be trochanteric bursitis. It also could be a muscular strain. I'd take it easy a bit and use ice, nsaids and some rest. If it persists you might need some therapy or a cortisone shot.
