Is my hip pain worth seeing a doctor for?

So I have dealt with my hip over the last six months. It is mainly an achy pain but it can feel like a crunch, which sounds like a loud crack, and its only gotten worse. Its really stiff and I've really noticed while I've done my yoga. It's particularly stiff in the morning as I get out of bed. 

On top of all that it tends to get out a bit during shopping or long walks... so frustrating.

The issue is, I'm 22 years old and I don't remember doing anything to it in particular. What do you think it could be and do I need to speak to a doctor about it... I live in regional Australia.

    The ortho Dr that treated my knee said it wasn't hip pain unless it hurt in the groin area. I had an ache in what I call my hip (top of my thigh, outer edge) for over 20 years. It is getting worse. They sent me for an EMG and I still do not have the results back. Best wishes
