What Causes Irritable, Sharp And Annoying Pain In Right Hip?

I have had a very irritable, sharp, annoying pain in my right hip about between the joint and a couple inches above the line of my groin. I ve been dealing with this pain since 2008 but I have yet to have it checked out. It comes up almost daily now and at times is a dull ache while at other times hurts like I m being stabbed with a small knife quite deeply there. What are the possibilities of what could be causing this pain?
