Bursitis of the hip - 

Little sacs that resemble jellybeans called bursae are found all throughout the body, particularly in the areas surrounding the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and heel. They operate as cushions to lessen friction by being positioned between soft tissues and bones and containing a small amount of fluid.

Inflammation of the bursa is called bursitis. The hip's two main bursae are prone to irritation and inflammation. The greater trochanter, a bony point on the hip bone, is covered by one bursa. Trochanteric bursitis is the medical term for this bursa's inflammation.

The iliopsoas bursa, another bursa, is situated on the inside (groin side) of the hip. Hip bursitis is another term for the ailment that occurs when this bursa becomes inflamed, however the pain is felt in the groin area. 

Although anyone can get hip bursitis, women and those in their middle or senior years are more likely to get it. It is less common in men and younger people. These are some possible causes of hip bursitis.
