    No squats and deadlifts. Really?

    I will probably mangle this but by X-ray doctor diagnosed a retroverted hip socket where the socket is rotated more to the rear than it is supposed to be. It's a deformity as opposed to an injury. Results in limited flexibility. He said squats would be dangerous. I asked about deads, he said "Yeah, that too."

    Since you seem unable to provide the information, have your doctor post your age, height, bodyweight, bilateral or unilateral, when the symptoms were first noticed, your training history, and your decision about the surgery.

    66. 5'11". 220. Bilateral condition, unilateral discomfort. Symptoms 6 months; initially tightness and pain in psoas muscle, then more generalized to hip and down leg to knee. 6 years lifting, limited to squats and deads last two years; discontinued presses due to labrum or rotator cuff tear. (Began lifting due to 40+ years of back pain; it cured the pain / spasming.) No surgery to be done.

    Post a video of your squat and deadlift with light weights.
