Should I continue with the couch to 5km?

[Apollod1]

A few years ago I required a steroid injection into my right hip for trochanteric bursitis since then my hip has felt pretty good. Before that I was was in a lot of pain and walking with a sick. I have had the odd twinge of pain but manageable. I have a nearly 2 year old and gained a lot of baby weight, struggling to get it off so started couch to 5km. I was enjoying myself, actually found i liked running and that was a surprise. I started week 4 and boom serious right hip pain, nothing is currently helping. I have stopped running at moment to rest it up but I'm worried this is the end of me and running. I cannot risk compromising by mobility again. My wee boy is very active and fast. I also have a physical job, on my feet for 12.5hrs as a nurse. Anyone had a similar situation that can advise on excersises that would help? Thanks for reading.
