Horrible hip pains

[CFinn1422]

My boyfriend, who is 17, has been having horrible hip pains for the last 3 years when he stands or walks.

Any idea to what it is?

thank you!
I've been pushing him to see a dr, but he's been skeptical... I'm going to keep trying.
thanks for the help! :)

hip pain might be caused by many things but i personally lean to kidney problems ...

is there any Arthritis in the family?

Even at his young age, he could be experiencing the pain of arthritis.  There are so many possibilities, I would strongly advise you to ask him to see a GP and get a referral to a specialist.
Hope this helps.
