I've had an accident after which I seem to have gotten some sort of injury or something which has not went away even 7 months after. It's much better now in the range of movement that I regularly get into, but it doesn't seem to be improving any more.
The video explains the problem better than I could do it with words:

Keep in mind that I'm rotating from the hip, not the ankle.
The right leg seems to be doing just fine, but trying to rotate the left one (in a straddled position only) makes it hurt somewhere inside the hip. I've only recently discovered how to purposefully cause the pain. It occurs when I try to stretch for side split.
Some sort of other pain (in front of hips - hip flexor pain probably) when trying to straighten out the back in a deep squat or pike position.
I was told to apply some sort of oil or whatever on that area. I'm really skeptical about trying that... How could it possibly even work?
