so i have this weird pain in my hip that has recently gotten a lot worse.
for a long time i had something where i moved my hip at certain angles it would hurt but then it would kind of pop and feel fine again. i always assumed this was how everybody's hip worked, although at some point realized i was mistaken. on my neurological development report from when i was a child it mentions i had a "hip click". although when i researched this more i got so many results describing different things. its not audible... when it pops it is the same sensation as when you crack your back or knuckles though.
a couple of weeks ago it started really bothering me. if i work out on the elliptical at some point it will start hurting a lot.. and it will be difficult to move my hip... for a while i was able to kind of stretch it in a way to pop back into place but even now that doesnt seem to work.
i called my dad-- he seems to think it could be arthritis. i dont really want to go to a specialist about this for a variety of reasons.. partly because im not sure if my insurance will cover it.
has anyone heard of something like this or had a problem like this?

Also, from your description it might be a nerve impingement, which can occur from a variety of issues. What relieves the pain? What causes the pain to start? Is it worse with increased activity? I need to review Ortho, so I will keep a look out for this.
