My advice is to see your doctor. You question is only the beginning of the diagnostic process, not the end. There's this principle in medicine: first you find out what it is, THEN you treat it.

May be IT band syndrome, may be tendinitis or ischial tuberosity bursitis, Consider rest ice , and exercises depending on the cause. Motrin like products , if not allergic may help.
