I have been having this hip issue for the past 2 weeks?

I have been having this hip issue for the past 2 weeks?Recently I have been experiencing pain in the area of my hip where the thigh meets. For about a week I just pushed through it and kept playing basketball. After about the 1st week or so the pain went away but now I have this weird/uncomfortable feeling on the side of my hip just in front of my gluteus muscle. It doesn't hurt but just doesn't feel normal. The only time it will hurt is if I try to stretch it for longer than 15 seconds. Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, what was it and what was your course of action. BTW this is on my right side. I think It may be my upper IT band?? No pain in the knee has occurred.
