    If it has not resolved in six months, I'd see an SPORTS orthopedic surgeon, a group that works with your local college and/or pro teams. You need some imaging and an exam.  While the doc is doing all the pulling, pushing, twisting and turning, they get a pretty good idea about the source of the problem.  You cannot diagnose this on your own or by the internet.  See a good ortho.
