Minor hip clicking/catching problem?!
Question: Whenever I move my right leg in a certain range there is a catching feeling. For example, when I do alternate leg raises on my back, whenever I bring my right leg down this happens, also, when I bring my knee to my chest and then move my hip open the sensation also occurs. I don't know how I specifically developed this problem, but I know I've had it for at least 3 years now. I'm only 19, but I've played multiple sports, football, basketball, and golf, where I was required to plant and use a vigorous hip turn. Recently, I aggravated it doing a round house kick in a martial arts class.
Any advice? I was wondering if I may have a minor tear, and if there are any rehabilitation exercises that could be recommended?

I did the excact same thing in kick boxing. But not doing the round house.
A bulging disk in your lower back causes the symptoms you have described.
It only takes a turn or land just in the wrong way just once to do this.
Physiotherapy is the best help in this sort of problem. They can give you some excercises that will build up the muscle where it's needed to help support your hip joint again.
But it's best to get this diagnosed correctly first.
Go to the Doctor who will organsie scans and x-rays.
Maybe you are wearing the cartilage thin, and now it's bone on bone?
