I can't say for sure with so little information... but according to Shakira, your hips can't lie

It's good that you had a fitting at a bike shop - but even if they are quite knowledgeable there's the chance that something isn't quite set up right for you. Don't be afraid to experiment with positioning especially if you feel there is something not quite right. Are your hips rocking as you pedal? That would indicate the saddle being too high - as a simple example. One thing to be wary of is making sure that your back is well looked after. I'd recommend stretches and core exercises to strengthen your back as being on a bike for extended periods in a bent posture can play havoc otherwise and sometimes hip pain can be 'referred' pain from a back issue. Something to think about.
