Ive sometimes experienced pain in my right hip from sitting or during sleep. before, the pain has gone away but after this last road trip, it has stayed. i did a few hip exercises, no pain experienced during it. should i see a doctor for assessment?

Hip pain: Wear and tear arthritis(osteoarthritis) is a common cause of hip pain but not in your age group. Bursitis is more likely. It may have associated tenderness of the hip. If you are able to, try taking anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or naproxen for a week. If not improved see a physician for assessment. An xray of the hip may be recommended.
