Why do my hips ache from standing, and 'pop' when I walk.?

Question

I stand for about two hours at a time and my hips just start to ache really bad, sometimes my knees too. I have decent support in my shoes. I do sometimes have a problem too when I walk, my hips almost 'pop' but not 'crack', kinda like the pop out of joint a little or something but it only starts to ache after about 15 mins of walking like that. Sometimes I can make it stop if I walk differently (stiff-like). I am only 23 and this has been happening for quite a few years, since I was 16 probably. Should I be concerned? Is there any certain vitamins or supplements I can eat more of or take to help with this? I haven't had any injuries in the past that I know of that could have caused this.

I have the SAME exact problem, it's caused by shallow hip sockets. Every time I stand for a long time, even sit for a long time, when I change positions my femur bone (thighbone) that rests in the socket dislocates or pops sometimes. Go do your doctor and he or she will prescribe you calcium medicine and also cartilage restoration medicine.

It has nothing to do with what you eat. This sounds like it's about the tendons that attach your legs to your body. The tendons can shorten themselves and when they do they pull your leg into your hip and after that the pull on the area of least resistance, where they attach in your body. When you release the tendons the problem should straighten itself out. Here's how to release those tendons:
Pelvic tendon
With only shorts on lay on a bed and pull your legs up and bend them at the knee so your feet are flat on the bed. Take your hand and run it down the crease between your thigh and body. When you reach the area of your pelvis you will feel a bump in that crease. That is the tendon to work on. Take it between your fingers and thumb and press and hold a good amount of pressure on it. Then relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don’t tense up any part of your body. After 30 seconds slowly lower your leg outward until it has gone as far as it will. Then release the pressure but rest your leg there for one minute longer. As a side note, if you cannot get a grip on the tendon, press on it near the pelvis with as much pressure as you can. Don’t let it slip out from under that pressure. Then continue with the rest of the exercise.
