What Causes Pain On The Left Side Of The Hips?

At night, laying on my left side, after about 15 minutes and start getting pain in my left hip that radiates down my whole leg to my ankle. It also hurts at other times behind my left knee. Any idea what this could be? I have to take ibeprofen every night, but sometimes it doesn t seem to be helping.
