Hip issues

[exter]

I have wrecked my left hip doing very wide squats .
It's been three months and the injury has not healed , although I tried NSAIDS , foam rolling and stretching and resting and heating.
I have :
-Tenderness and pain in the front of my hip , at the left of my pubis.
-Tenderness and pain in my left adductor (next to my balls)
-Pain in the outer part of my left hip (gluteus medius/minimus) that gets better when rotating my left leg internally.
-When I raise my left leg while keeping it straight towards my right leg , I can feel some kind of "tendon" (not sure at all) , something pretty long at the side of my leg that goes from my hip down to my knee. It hurts at the end of the ROM.

I am really depressed without deads and squats. I have vainly sought help many times from Coach but my posts never went through.
I have previously tried moderate weights on squats but they really worsened my case.

Have you tried seeing a doctor or other medical professional? Gotten a diagnosis or MRI?

I might see a traumatologist later.
This is causing me problems with my parents since they had forbidden me from lifting heavy weights.
I'd really like a free online diagnosis. A MRI is too expensive.

An online diagnosis is probably not the best option...even if there are doctors here, nobody is going to be able to give you a real answer via the internet. I've had hip problems since about 2008 and I finally broke down and went and saw a chiropractor (he's the team doctor for 2 professional sports teams in DC so I figured he wasn't a quack) and after the first visit I felt a major difference. I'd suggest seeking out some sort of professional, an MRI might not be necessary, my chiro only took an x-ray because I explained to him what I'd been doing, and my insurance covers 20 visits so it's not super expensive.

So I have just visited a traumatologist/orthopedist (sorry if technical terms are not exact, as I am not english).
He first asked me to take my pants off and lie down on the stretcher and proceeded to feeling my ass (I can't tell you how embarrassed i felt). Then he found out which movements were painful for me and deduced " it's the hamstrings". He asked for a x-ray , that showed " no sacroilliac or coxofemoral lesions". When I showed him the x-ray , he rapidly deduced that I had tendinitis and prescribed anti inflammatories , for 3 days.
The physician seemed to be against lifting heavy weights and told me in front of my father that it will stunt my growth and that I'd better look for another sport.
My PE teacher said the same thing to my father.
I don't know how to dissuade my father from this fucking myth. Is it even possible that flawed strength training , with form errors (I know this can cause injuries) , stunts one's growth ?
Assuming the injury heals within the next 3 days (which I highly doubt) , how can i get back to squatting/DLing ?
The physician recommended 2 months of rest but there is no way in hell I am going to wait that much.

I'm starting to understand why Rip hates doctors when it comes to lifting related injuries. I'm a med student by the way, so it's not like I have a bias against doctors. It's bullshit, you know it and both people that told you it will stunt you growth said it without any basis either in physiology, medical literature or personal experience. If your parents have even half a brain, show them this.

If they think it's bullshit, well, you did your part. If they don't read English, translate it to them. If they don't trust your translation, tell them they should learn how to speak English and while they're at it, you'll keep on lifting.

2. Preadolescents and adolescents should avoid competitive weight lifting, power lifting, body building, and maximal lifts until they reach physical and skeletal maturity.

Does this mean I shouldn't lift heavy weights even if I have the form down ? (which will happen eventually if I do the beginner program).

I think the key here is the competitive part. It's bullshit, but it's something your parents are more likely to buy than Rippetoe's writings on PP.
