Hi Mary Jo,
I hope that I can make you feel a little better- But I do understand that its hard not to worry. I had a very similar problem with my hip last fall/winter. It ached pretty badly, was very stiff (especially after sitting or not moving around for a while) and did not hurt to the touch at first, but eventually did with more time. It was funny though, because as I walked on it, the pain would get better. It bothered me for 2-3 months and they finally CT'd it. Everything was ok, but it continued to hurt for another 2 months or so. It recently has started back up, although not as bad. You may just have some arthritic changes, and especially with the fall and winter months, its just acting up. I also started roller blading before this started, so I may have torn something with that. Is is possible that you could have injured it or pulled something without knowing it?
Love, Kelly
