What Causes Sharp Pain In My Groin Area?

I have a sharp, pinching-like pain in my R hip/ groin area that is present with walking/ weight bearing. It is not present all the time, though it can be severe, so much so that I fear I will not be able to bear weight on my leg. NO injury history. I do not exercise. I am overweight though otherwise a healthy woman with no history of disease. At times, this pain makes me walk funny. What do you think it could be? Can I treat it at home?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
there is enough possibility of having hip pathology considering your symptoms. This should not be treated at home. I would like to advise xray of pelvis with both hips anteroposterior and frog leg views. An ultrasound of hip is also advisable to rule out hip synovitis. Start tab zerodol sp twice a day for pain relief. You need to consult orthopaedic surgeon nearby your with reports.
