Occasional hip right pain started a year ago but happening more often & becoming more painful. usually achy but at times sharp & unable to walk.

See your doctor: Because this issue has persisted for more than a year, it is best to see your doctor for an examination. It could be bursitis, tendonitis or something specifically involving the bones in the hip. You will likely need an X-ray to help your doctor narrow down the potential cause of this painful condition. In the meantime, you can take Advil (ibuprofen) (if not allergic or pregnant) as needed for the pain.
