Brief Answer:
Can be a muscle pain due to poor posture.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain on the side of your hips can be a muscular pain due to poor posture and lack of proper muscle tone. You need to avoid sitting on hard surfaces and maintain a proper posture on sitting. Take frequent stretch breaks. You can also start with mild pain killers, hot compress and local analgesic gel for temporary relief.
Do consult your orthopedician and get an MRI scan done in case the pain is persistent. Proper prescription medicines will help you.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

What exercises do you recommend?

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
It is best to avoid sitting in any chair lower than the level of your knees. Sitting straight with both feet on the floor is the best. Or if you want to sit cross legged for sometime then sit with non painful leg below the painful side.
Avoid sleeping on the painful side. Do sleep on the back or on the pain free side.
For proper exercises you need to consult a proficient physiotherapist.
Hope this answer is helpful.
