Acute pain high up and on top of the thigh

[Mary Lee Wilson]

Hi all. 

 

I've done some research about this and I'm guessing it's some form of hip impingement. However, it is very acute; it most often happens when I do a position similar to the seated pike. It is very unlike any muscular pain I've ever experienced. I feel the pain and immediately have to stop the movement and crawl over. Could it be a lack of flexibility causing the bone to jam into the socket? If so, is there any way to treat this? 

Thanks a lot!
