Probably trochanteric bursitis. Go to an orthopedic office and see if they say try some anti inflammatory meds with ice packs, etc. Or, quick fix if you’ve had symptoms for a while, steroid injection.
I would recommend an evaluation. You may have a back issue, or your hip arthritis has progressed to a point that it has become a problem.
