Hip hurts

I was up all night with severe pain in the right lower hip next to the small of the back. It is only on my right side to the rear of the hip. Anyone had this before? Or know what it could be caused from?

Also the position of your lower back with proper support is important as well. I've had aches in my lower pain from doing leg presses incorrectly - that is why I ask. .o0 Arnold 0o.
