hip pain

Yup!
I have hip pains.

Out of nowhere.

One morning (yesterday), i was fine, then after that it just slowly got worse :/
I've researched and come to two conclusions!!

#1

Contusions (Bruises)
Contusions (bruises), sprains, and strains may occur as a result of trauma, and even though there is no broken bone, these injuries can still be very painful. Sprains are due to ligament injuries, while strains occur because of damage to muscles and tendons. Because of the amount of force required to walk or jump, the hip joint is required to support many times the weight of the body. The muscles, bursas, and ligaments are designed to shield the joint from these forces. When these structures are inflamed, the hip cannot function and pain will occur.



#2
Bursa Inflammation (Hip Bursitis)



The trochanteric bursa is a sac on the outside part of the hip that serves to protect muscles and tendons as they cross the greater trochanter (a bony prominence on the femur). Trochanteric bursitis describes the inflammation of this bursa. The bursa may become inflamed for a variety of reasons, often due to minor trauma or overuse.

Hope i get well soon. 
Apparently all i need is rest. But how am i suppose to rest when i need to walk?!??!?
