I've been doing squats and deadlifts with my routine for a few months now, and I thought my form was fine, but lately I've been experiencing pain in the back of my hip when doing them, which leads me to believe I might have some buttwink going on.
I thought it might be a problem with my hip flexors, but the pain is where I've drawn the pink in circle in pic related, and my understanding is my hip flexors are in the front mostly. It's not quite my lower back or my hip or even my tailbone, but right in between all of them.
I have a bit of lordosis going on, which might be part of it, but I'm not sure. Before you say "go see a doctor" I already have an appointment booked, and I don't feel comfortable posting a video of my form or anything, I just wanted to know if anyone has had the same thing happen to them and if their shit got fucked up or not.
Pain in that area is generally issues with the SI joint. Definitely go to the doctor.

Fuck sakes lads, I just wanted to lift why did this have to happen? Lifting is one of the few things I enjoy in life...

Relax, you probably didn't actually injure it. It can easily be fixable.
The doctor will be able to orient you a bit better once you're there and he can test you.

how much are you squatting?

Before going to a doctor, have you considered researching/identify/locating the source of the problem?
The area you circled can only help us so much. >>Oh its the xyz area and is a direct results of the abc area of the body, do exercise Z and this will fix your problem in approximately 10 days.
It doesn't work like that, and seeing a Doctor might not have the same experience as a licensed physical therapist or another licensed doctor that works with athletes.
I can think of 5+ problems that results in "hip pain" and they all individually stem from many different areas of the body. Is there any other information you can provide?

Had the same problem
It's hard to identify the problem, so you just have to fix the entire chain
Foam roll your entire body every single day. Make sure to pay special attention to your calves, hip flexors, hamstrings, and IT bands.
Do static stretching everyday for your entire body
Work on improving your ankle mobility. Watch videos on how to do dynamic and static stretching.
Have someone record your lifts and make sure your form is correct

Yeah my description was vague but I think trappy is right saying it's my SI joint
