Squatting and hip flexor pain
My right hip flexor (on the line where my leg meets my hip, exactly at the top but radiating inward) has had bouts of sharp pain & cramping for about a month now. If I try to push through during a flare up and squat anyway, I'm punished with a few days where I can't bend my leg well enough to climb stairs - not from pain, but from weakness and/or a total lack of control over my quads.
What's weird to me is that this pain started *after* I did a lot of work to stop knee slide and prevent leading with my left leg and "twisting" to my right out of the hole.
Here's a video of my last session.

Any thoughts on recovery tactics? I've read you shouldn't stretch it or massage gun it, so I'm kind of at a loss.
I also row on an erg and hike with the dogs, so there's a potential the aggravation is coming from there, but most often I wake up with it the day after a heavy squat session, and then any of my normal activities aggravate it.
