How To Get Rid Of The Lump In The Hip Area That Moves And Sore If Touched?

I'm an athlete, and it is currently basketball season. I refuse to be told I have to sit for any part of the season, but landing on this knot on my hip honestly is one of the worst pains I've ever felt. It can be moved from place to place within a two inch radius. Wherever I move it to, it stays. Should I be worried.? A Physical therapist said it was my IT band stretched across my hip. More help, and how to get rid of it.?

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

It is really hard to tell what exactly it is not seeing it. It may be a lymph node, sebaceus cyst or other benign skin lesion.
As it is movable, I assume that it may be easily removed and checked by pathologist.
That is why I suggest you to visit a surgeon. In case of doubts, ultrasound should be done.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
