I have Snapping Hip Syndrome. The doctor said I had to gain a little weight. He said I will grow out of it. Will it ever go away?

According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons a lot depends on what's causing it in the first place. I didn't find anything that suggested that gaining weight would help, but your Dr. may have other information.
What I did find says that normally it's caused by a loose muscle or tendon moving over bone and causing a snapping sound. If there's no pain then there's no treatment needed. If the snapping sensation bothers you, but there's no pain you can try a reduction in activity (especially those involving repetition of movement in the hips), applying ice to the area, and taking aspirin or ibuprofen.
If you do have pain in the area you may have the start of bursitis, which may develop over time or it may be that it was caused by damage to the hip joint resulting in damage to the cartilage or debris in the hip joint.If these are the problem then you may need to look for an orthopedic specialist for treatment.
If it's not hurting you or bothering you in any significant way though it doesn't sound like it's too worrisome.This was a very interesting question to since I was in an accident a few years ago and have the same thing in my right hip. In my case it hasn't gone away in 15 years, but I'm very sure mine is due to damage. It sounds like if it's minor then learning new exercise methods and maybe some work with a physical therapist may be a big help.
