Having Problems With My Hips When Squating

[balancefighter]

Any time that I go parallel or below parallel I get an excruciating pain in my hips. Not a muscle pain a deep bone pain right in the sockets of my hips. It doesn't matter if I stick with light weight or go heavy its still there. The only thing that helps somewhat is if I put my feet so close together that there almost touching. But even this doesn't totally get rid of it. Were not talking a little bit of pain I could just work through it something that is seriously screwing with my squats. I cant ever think of any hip injuries but with my years of fighting I guess I cant rule this out. Any body else have any problems like this or any insight? Thanks for the help

Flexability issue? I know you do BJJ but more flexability has helped get rid of pain in joints in the past. Have you had an mri done?

Yeah I'm deff not as flexable as I was when I was fighting. No mri its not an issue except when I'm squatting.

Maybe a more extensive warmup to get that hip looser. I like to shadow box in the sauna as a warmup
