Suggest Treatment For Severe Shooting Pain In The Hip

Injured my leg playing basketball two weeks ago, upper thy hip region. It feels fine most of the time but a few times a day while moving a shooting pain goes through that area that practically takes me to the ground. Not able to even stand on it or put weight on it. I sit for a minute or two and then it is fine. Happens several times a day. Went to a doctor who took x_rays and said my bone structure is good. Any thoughts to why I am having this intermittent pain?
