Hip flexor pain when squatting

[karky]

The pain began last week
i was doing squats at the time.
Hip flexor, its the inner part, so im guessing the psoas, and its only on the left leg.
Its like a sharp pain, only when squatting (back squats in particular) also when holding the leg up.
Squatting motiones and raising the leg towards my chest.
stretching it helps some, but not much.
pain doesnt radiate.
I can squat through the pain, so theres nothing i cant do, but im guessing it might not be such a good idea to continue squatting with the pain?
havent injured it before, though i do have an anterior pelvic tilt, so i have tight hip flexors.
Its not really getting worse.

Ive tried doing some scorpions for warmup to see if it helped, but i just felt them at the outer part of the hip flexor, not the inner where the pain is.

Any help appritiated

Could be something like anterior femoral glide syndrome.

What is your glute strength/function like?
Do your hamstrings feel tight?

In the case of AFGS stretching your hip flexors would actually be contraindicated however.

hams dont really feel tight, thought, that doesnt mean they are not.
Glute activation is something im working on, it used to be really bad, but its alot better now, if i get sore anywhere from squats, its my glutes, i know soreness is not an indicator of a good workout, but atleast that means they are doing their job, right?
