you do need to see a doctor if the pain is sharp. it might be something as simple as impingement or mis-tracking that a physio can help you put right. but fwiw i can tell you that inflammation inside my hip capsule presented to me as a pain in the front of my hip, at the groin. i argued with my rheumatologist about it for two years before she shut me up with a cortisone shot inside the joint.
hips are nothing to mess around with. i've only ever had 'mild' stuff from mine but even that can hand out some really big pain.

I dont know how i would have got that though... i am only 21 and have never done much exercise until this year... i used to be a keen horse rider but havent done that for 3 years0

And it literally causes no trouble unless i raise my knee up to hip level0

Ignore it then and just never raise your knee that high.... :huh: :noway:1 -
I raise it lots in my HIIT and kickboxing workouts0

Could be nerve damage. I'd say work around it until it heals. You may also want to take a magnesium and B vitamin supplement, or eat foods rich in those things.2

Seems like it could be internal snapping hip syndrome to me now i have done some research ☺0

I don't think Doctor Google is the doctor you need to see. Problems with joints aren't something to mess around with.7

Have you tried doing stretches for your hip flexor, hamstrings, lower back? My hip frequently pops out of joint and has a similar feeling, but stretching it helps prevent it when exercising and at other times I'm not trying to make it pop out.2

I do stretches most days just to loosen everywhere up, i will definitely take your advice and focus on those areas tomorrow... thank you lovely0 -
You need an MRI. Please see a doctor and stop doing the movement that aggravates it until you do. If it's and injury, you could make it worse. If it's a strain, it's not going to get any better.
You're young, is the exercise really worth a permanent, debilitating injury? That's what you could be heading towards. Being the youngest person to need a hip replacement isn't the kind of fitness record you want to be setting.4 -

It does sound like that.. especially if you do a lot of ab exercises or you sit a lot, both of which tighten the iliopsoas. Lay off the kickboxing & abs for awhile, and try this stretch every 2 hours for 30+ seconds:

Once a day isn't enough. Set an alarm if you forget.
If it doesn't improve soon, you might have a labral injury or something else going on, and you may need to see a specialist to get it sorted out.
Post an update next week.1 -

Is there an issue with you going to the doctor.?
I went because of hip issues, it was so painful.
Had a bone scan to make sure all was ok. Mine wasn't even popping, that would have freaked me out
Don't mess with your health if you want to carry on with hiit workouts.0 -
Despite you getting cross at people who say it - the ONLY answer is to see a doctor. Googling and asking for advice from total strangers on the internet is dangerous and could cause you to end up in a wheelchair. Without proper examination and just going ahead and doing what someone suggests, could actually be aggravating YOUR problem which could result in irreversible damage. No knowledgeable person will suggest someone treats a condition in a certain way without examination. Someone may have had something that sounds the same and they did such and such that may have helped THEM, but what YOU have may not be that and you may well be damaging yourself by taking advice!
TL;DR - rest until you see a doctor.4
