I had similar issues caused by a hypermobile SI Joint. A Dr. I found, after 4 years and 6 Drs., who diagnosed the lax ligament that connects the pelvis with the spine. A procedure called prolotherapy fixed the ligament and the joint now only moves slightly out of place, an issue I can fix with 'knee to the chest' twice a day, or if needed.
The original issue had developed after a hip operation that left one leg shorter than the other. The SI Joint accommodated that with its hypermobility, but then caused issues including semi-dislocation of my leg when moved in a certain position. Prolotherapy turned on specific high levels of self-healing for the over stretched ligament.
I am old and was always very flexible and athletic. I believe the muscles held my hypermobile joints in place for a lot of years. Finding a DR. familiar with EDS and hypermobile joints is difficult but Mayo does know. It could be your issue. I felt the issue in my groin before I found the answer.

interesting. Where is the Dr. who diagnosed this, and how did he determine the diagnosis? What were your symptoms with this issue, and which ligament was this as a lax ligament is a condition, not an actual ligament from my understanding. I'm looking for all sorts of options here.
