Pain and tightness of hip on back side can be either due to muscle pulling or due to nerve compression at spine. So first get a x ray of spine to confirm the diagnosis. After that I would like you to recommend physiotherapy for back muscle strengthening, also when you are bathing sit in hot water tub for some time so heat reaches at that bone.. Avoid sitting on hard surface and also take pain killer like voveron tablet. I hope these measures will solve your problem.
