if you can pin point pain in your hip then it is an independent hip problem not related to your disc if pain is spreading in a wide area then it is due to disc leasion in L1/2 if u have hip problem try streching your hip flexors and strenghthening your extensors as for your disc problem try a simple test by leaning forwards while standing on your heels with toes up if pain increase i suggest rest in knee and hip flextion 90 degree if condition improves then u should start physical therapy right away goodluck
