Need physical exam: To be sure of diagnosis. However, if you are speaking of the area on the outside of the upper thigh that many people call their hip, the greater trochanter area, you may have greater trochanteric bursitis which could benefit from a steroid injection and physical therapy w/ stretching. If not that area, would recommend physical exam and xrays to be sure. Hope that helps!
