I Am Finding That Sitting Makes My Hips Ache, But

I am finding that sitting makes my hips ache, but walking more than a short distance also produces the the same discomfort. It's the outer sides that ache. I think it's inactivity because the Spring has been so damp and cold. Ot's hard to work outside. But I tend to be less physically active in the winter.imary care I've always been able to walk a couple of miles. I'm concerned. Is there a test I should request of my primary care doc?
