Hip Problems

Okay, so today I tried riding my boyfriend for the first time but when I was straddling him my hip started to ache and I thought nothing of it. So I kept making out with him, within 3 minutes my left hip was unbearably bad. I had to stop and take some Ibuprofen and lay down for a few minutes until the pain went away. I've kind of attributed this to the fact that I played sports a few years back and I didn't take very good care of my joints. I think maybe (as ridiculous as it sounds) I need to stretch before I try riding him again. If you've had/have a similar problem let me know what you've done to alleviate your pain.
