Strained on the toilet and ever since ive had a dull pain next to my right hip. is it just from straining? or could it be something else?

This sounds like a muscle strain, possibly from straining during having a bowel movement, but could be from another cause (while excercising or other sudden movement). You can try applying a warm moist heating pad/cloth and take ibuprofen if you have no medical contraindication to doing so. If not improving or if worsening, please see your doctor.

A strain appears likely and the pain should fade away in days. If pain persists longer, seeing your doc for an exam and possible tests if felt needed, would be wise.
