Joint instability: get an orthopedic evaluation. This may be a subluxated hip joint, slipped femoral capital epiphysis or early arthritis: requires imaging and expert examination.

Checkup: At your age a feeling in the hip like this should be evaluated by a practitioner who can order imaging if indicated to prevent increasing pain/dysfunction.
