Brief Answer:
possibility of slipped capital femoral epiphysis or perthes disease

Hello,
I have studied your case.
That’s good that gait is normal and no numbness.
Yes this can be hernia but you will need clinical examination to confirm diagnosis.
Another possibility of slipped capital femoral epiphysis or perthes disease in early stage which can be confirmed by x ray and MRI of hip joint.
I will advise you to consult your doctor for clinical examination and if possible consult orthopaedic surgeon.
