When I ejaculate I get a severe pain in my hip, side moving down my leg. almost feels like a charlie horse. I was wondering if this can be a symptom of prostrate cancer.

Prostate cancer is rarely experienced before 60 years of age but it becomes more frequently found in men over 70 years old. The etiology, or cause, of the disease is unknown. Symptoms of prostate cancer are related with disturbed urination (disuria): frequent urination, painful urination, burning sensations during urination, frequent urges for urination during the night, blood in the urine and sperm, etc. If the cancer spreads, there symptoms appear of local metastases: pains in the lumbar-sacral region that irradiate to the hips and legs. Painful ejaculation is not a secure sign of prostate cancer.

You'll need several diagnostic procedures to confirm or exclude the possibility of prostate cancer: laboratory analyses (prostate specific antigen and acid phosphatase), a rectal examination and an ultrasound examination. If there is something suspicious present, a biopsy can be done to precisely offer the diagnosis.
