This depends on the source of the hip pain. You could have arthritis, a bursitis, and impingement, or even a stress fracture, in addition to a host of other causes. Sometimes hip pain may be coming from somewhere else - like the back or even from an organ (e.g. kidney stone or appendix). Your best bet first is to be seen by a Sports Medicine physician. Once the cause of the problem is determined, often you can partake in some of the treatment at home (like exercises, rehab, ice or heat, using topical creams or rubs, or even medications as necessary).
