My hip pain is not on the outside of the hip, it is kinda where the hip rotators are.
If you need to exercise your hip flexors then try powercranks. They've been used by athletes with fractured pelvis, acl damage, loss of muscle mass due to operation and other leg imbalance problems to rehabilitate. The powercranks ensure that both legs do exactly the same amount of work so you should have no problem with that. They're expensive new but there may be some on e-bay.
Try e-mail
customerservice@powercranks.com with details of your problem - maybe they can help.

there's a lotto pro cyclist using them to recover from his fractured pelvis - canned interview for trainingpeaks so take it with a pinch of salt -
