How do I get rid of snapping hip syndrome?

Question:

I'm a runner and have had this for about a year. It doesn't hurt at all and the only time I feel it is when I put my hand on my hip as I walk. I was just wondering how to make it go away. Thanks

Answers:
Usually, simple reassurance that nothing serious is wrong is sufficient. A sort course of anti-inflammatory medications, or possibly a cortisone injection will help control inflammation if this is contributing to the problem. Physical therapy may be useful for stretching out the muscles and tendons that cause a snapping hip and may help prevent the problem.
Surgery is rarely necessary, and reserved for patients who have severe symptoms for long periods of time with adequate trial of non-operative treatments. If this is the case, surgery to relax the tendons, or remove the cartilage tear may help with the symptoms of a snapping hip.
