........just happened to run across a diagram of the hip areas (whilst looking for Foam Roller Exercises)..... 
.......I think that's what I popped in my hip........any stretches we know to help it????l <a href="http://www.deskjockeyfitness.com/FeaturedExercises/0603PiriformisFoamRollerRelease.html" target="_blank">http://www.deskjockeyfitness.com/FeaturedExercises/0603PiriformisFoamRollerRelease.html</a> 
...it's right where that highlighted (inflammed) part of the picture is...mostly at the top of the muscle.... 
thanks for any help..... 
------edited to add--- 
I did this in October 
when I ran across some Felt Covering at the Track,(to protect from Football Cleats ) 
and caught my foot which ''torqued'' my hip,,,,like an idiot I finished the run, but it's been extremely sore ever since...

Lost a month to this recently... Two massages and much stretching later, I was back on the road. Try these
<ul><li>Lie on your back. Lift left knee. Place right ankle on top of left knee. With both hands, pull left knee towards you. Switch sides.</li>
<li>Lie on back. Put right foot flat on floor to left of left leg. Pull knee toward you. Switch sides.</li>
<li>While standing, left right foot so that lower leg is horizontal in front of you. Pull higher with hands. Switch sides.</li>
</ul>
