Hello,
It seems a muscular skeletal pain, perhaps piriformis syndrome. As this has been going on for one week now, should run Xray of the hip, and a further consultation with orthopedic specialist.
Take analgesic orally, apply analgesic cream or gel locally, take magnesium supplement to ease the muscle spasms.
Wish fast recovery.
