Does a month long knee and hip flare up warrant a doctor's visit? this has never happened before.

Yes: For these type symptoms that last for a month you definitely should see a primary care doctor orthopedic doctor in person for specific diagnosis and treatment. Do not ignore this could be something treatable or serious

Probably: for as young as you are the areas you describe should have healed themselves up if they were simple muscle or ligament strains
