Constant uncomfortable tightness in left hip and lower left hand side of back

Question:

Constant uncomfortable tightness in left hip and lower left hand side of back

When i was swimming (front crawl) about 12 months ago i felt a clunk in my left hip (which wasn't painful more of a, what was that!) and lower left side of my back. Since this feeling i have had a constant tightness in my left lower back and my left hip. The tightness that i feel in the mentioned areas is increased when i go mountain biking, sitting for long periods also feels uncomfortable on this left side.

I have tried stretching out my glutes, hip flexors, hamstrings and lower back. Sometimes when i do my stretches this only seems to make me feel tighter were i was already tight. I have been for numerours sports massages, and they say that i am tight in the mentioned area and have tried trigger release and said that i should do this along with my stretching if i feel tight. I only ever seem to get short term if any relief from these actions.

Can you help me?
