Hip bursitis
The bursa cushions and lubricates the muscle and bones in the area. Pain is generally on the outside of the hip which is worse during running, skiing, hiking and possibly biking
Arthritis of the hip joint
Generally stiffness after sitting or lying still which is relieved slowly my moving around. It is genrally deep, in the middle of the upper thigh and there should be a decrease in the range of motion.
Muscle strain, or tear
There are several muscles in the hip area in the buttock area there is the gluteus maximus and medius, piriformis hamstrings. In the front the psoas, pectinus, quadriceps. On the side is the Iliotibial band (IT band) and the tensor fascia lata. On the inside between the legs there are adductors. All which become injured and cause pain and abnormal movement.
