it might be your hip flexors

you might wanna try posting this in the excercise forum

but if u try some hanging leg raises, it might stretch your hip flexors, give it a shot

Yes, look for trigger points in your gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. You can locate these by going to the hip/buttock region on this page and looking at the images. The trigger points will be very tender and sore. Put pressure on them (which will hurt) for 5-10 second each point, and do it throughout the day. This will help break them up and enhance circulation.

In addition, do stretching for this area. If you need some direction here, let me know.
