Pay attention to EXACTLY what you're doing throughout the day with that joint, and exactly where the pain is. I once had a pain in my right hip that came from nothing more than twisting on my foot when getting in the car (left, drivers' side). Running stresses your joints so pay attention to what your body tells you, what you're doing at the time--and wear good shoes. The shoes really matter.

If it bugs you for more than a week, seek a physiotherapist or medical doctor who can refer you to an appropriate personnel.
from the day it started, has it gotten any worse?? which activities does it hurt with?? which part exactly is it?? you said hip then you used the word thigh. they mean very differnt things. hip's a joint, thigh's muscular.
A strain (injured muscle) will only hurt when you use that muscle (in the case of a severe strain) or when you stretch it. If it's the joint, it may hurt in a whole different clinical pattern.
You need to observe the pattern of pain to be a greater help to yourself and your treating practitioner.
If ever you get an exacerbation with running/walking, ice the area.
NEVER apply heat to an acute injury.

Trigger points are knots in the muscles that because they are tight can refer pain anywhere. For more information pick up a copy of The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies - My library has it yours might.

It sound like strain. Can also result it in spasm.
Check with doctor to avoid muscle injury.
It can be something minor that could heal with help of anti-inflammation gel, but then you have to be sure.

Your age has something to do with it. If you are still growing, these may be growing pains. Did you talk to your doctor or your phys-ed teacher? They can probably help.
