Wow! I feel like you all have given me great advice and armed me for my trip to the doctor. I'm (hopefully) going for a 6 mile walk tomorrow so I'll try to find the right way to describe it for her (maybe it won't even hurt! fingers crossed)
Colby, thanks for sharing your whole process and info, it's really helpful for me. I think you're right about being vocal and being really specific with descriptions.
Knot, thanks for more info about LLD. I've always known my hips were obviously at different heights but just assumed everyone else had the same thing to a degree. After having this weird hip pain it made me think that could be the cause. I will definitely be bringing it up with my doctor and hopefully, if she sees something off, she'll check into it.
And I'm sorry if I came off sounding anti-medication. I completely agree that medication can be like a savior in a lot of cases. The only thing I dislike about my doctor is that she does seem too eager to prescribe medication sometimes without doing more detective work first.
Oh, and I couldn't find a foam roller anywhere around here. I opted for some tennis balls instead, which I taped together. It was kind of like getting a really deep tissue massage and felt good afterward.
Thanks again, I'll let you know how my appointment goes.
