have you injured that side of your leg before, like since childhood, and then it healed? including falling on stairs and landing on that side of your pelvic bone or backside?
heel strike isn't a bad thing, I heel strike sometimes, on purpose, but that's with a decent pair of cushioning shoes

in your case, here are some suggestions:
1. look into IT band tightness - use a semi-firm roller on the IT band, and see if it's also painful
2. the knee and ankle, are they both on the same side, on your left? maybe it's because of the injury that you use it less now it becomes stiff - try use heat soak or apply heat pouch along the outer side of your fibula (front outer side of the calf)
3. for stiff ankle, sleep with ankle wrap or socks, but make sure it's loose to keep it warm. Can do the same for knee
4. take a photo of the bottom sole your worn running shoes, checking to see your pronation and running gait, might need to decide between cushioning or stability shoes, or both if possible
a normal running gait would have center heel worn (slightly off center, towards the outer side), and then the worn mark extend towards the middle front
