Poor circulation and being over weight could be the problem. Also, sciatic nerve pain could be the problem. That shoots down one side of the leg or hip area and causes great pain. You will need a muscle relaxer and therapy on that area would help the muscles and pain to go away. Try using an infrared heat at home.

This depends on what "type" of pain it is. For example, if it is a shooting pain, take note of where it shoots from and this area is probably the source of the problem. If it is a tender local pain, this may indicate muscle sprain or tear.

There are so many causes that it would be extremely difficult to pinpoint without visiting your Doctor. I suggest making an appointment if the pain lasts more than one week.
