Starting Strength Injury Advice

Personally (and I know some will disagree) I don't think that any kind of program that has you squatting heavy multiple times per week is going to be sustainable long term. I've tried it multiple times in the past, and every time I end up with hip pain. Cut back the heavy squats to once a week and it's no longer an issue.

This could just be an issue with my anatomy, but heavy squats are definitely tough on the body, particularly the lower back and hips (and knees if your form is bad). You can still make great strength and muscle gains without squatting multiple times per week, so unless you are specifically training for squat strength I would recommend going very light on your squats for the next month or so, then working your way back up to heavier weight with one squat session per week.
