swollen groin and hip pain

hi, I am 40 years old, and over a very short amount of time have been experiencing pain through my groin - RHS which has swollen at least 4 times the LHS and pain when i walk, lay in bed, or even the simple task getting in and out of a chair. My hips on both sides are also being affected, as a constant pain in evident. I would like to ask the question to anyone out there, who may have r s experiencing this type of ailment. Thanks Luke
