Is the pain mainly in the front, side or back of hip, or all over?
Hopefully that is the first thing a doctor would ask..but maybe not.

Maybe some of these yoga poses would help.
This site has photos of real people ( some sites just have drawings).
I wonder if it could be the psoas causing some of the trouble?

And if any look like they might be worth trying , then a youtube search of that pose will be a good way to see it being done fully.
