Work your hip abductor muscles several times a day. Use a rubber band hooked to something so you can stretch that leg side to side, front and back. It really helps. Mine clunks, clicks, bangs but only I can feel or hear it. The more I exercise it, the better it seems to get. I went from being a couch potato to getting up at 5 in the morning, 15 minutes on the exercise bike, 10 minutes of stretching and back on the treadmill for another 15, off to the Y over the noon hour for an hour of pool low impact arobics. The thing I like about the Y is that you meet lots of people in the same boat that you did not meet on the couch. Exercise seems to be everying, enjoy, it gets very habit forming.
