OP, number one thing you need to do is stop lifting heavy weights.

I recall the vid you posted of yourself doing deads....I felt pain just watching your horrible form.

Fwiw, 1000iu of Vit D after dinner for a week completely healed the elbow pain I had for a year.

I'd know the perfect expert for you for this if you were in the Netherlands. He's fixed similar kind of problems mostly through physical therapy.

Sounds like your Psoas and Sartorius is jacked up, but im no doctor. There's obviously an imbalance. Check your gait and feet placement as well.

Since the damage isn't too bad on the MRI, and you're young you should probably see a chiro

And fix your stretching routine, that's probably what is making the issue worse. I would stop trying to strengthen your "glutes and hamstrings" and focus on strengthening your core isometrically with planks and vacuums. Try hanging on a pull up bar and contracting your core to release some pressure on your back

Back pain sucks, but you way too young for all that noise
5g? Won't most of that go down the toilet? Actually I remember there was some truth to animal pak and their outlandishly high vitamin amounts. Our absorption of it isn't exactly the same for everyone so you may aswell take a ton more than the rda. Look at riboflavin for example. I remember people with migraines supplementing with 20000% of the rda for riboflavin.

Yeah, my form in the stretches were perfect. For some reason my rectus femoris just never got looser. They're the prime suspect, my glutes are strong, my tva is strong and any other strength leaks aren't even present. Just the damn quads.

Okay, I'll try planks again. Doesn't take long anyways. How strong did you get with it?

Thanks.
