Pain in Quads & Hip joint

My daughter (19) has described the following symptoms. When her legs swing back and forth, whilst walking or running, she gets a sharp pain in her quads and a feeling as though her joint is detached from her hip. She's been taking pain killers for the past couple of months (not good). She says she's doing warm up's and cool downs and stretching.

When she started running, she was just using some old gym trainers. My partner and I purchased her a pair of Mizuno Lady Crusader 6 Running Shoes. Which are a vast improvement on what she had. She says when she wears them, her legs are fine/better. But when she wears her fashion shoes and Timberland Boots, the problem worsens ( I know, don't wear the fashion stuff ) but I feel their is a underlining problem.

She saw her GP last week, who advised on more stretching etc. And if the problem persists to have a X-ray. Any ideas please?
