Started walking about 2.5 miles most evenings 4 years ago for exercise. Around the second year my right hip joint started bothering me, and I thought I was going to have to give it up. Turns out I was walking with my feet way too close together. So I started trying to correct that and the problem has nearly gone away. No doctors, no specialists, no X-rays, no tests. 
There is almost no information on the web describing a plain old walking gait---only power walking and speed walking. Most sites just push foot orthotics to compensate.
Just saying...If you have a hip or knee problem walking, you might want to check how you walk first. It's never too late to change, but it takes practice and concentration.
Besides, it's more fun to walk like John Wayne.
