groin pain

Hi guys, new to healing well today, found you as i have been searching for answers on my groin pain. I have had it on and off for 2-3 weeks, do feel slightly ill and under the weather. Have a baby and toddler so always picking up infections and have little sleep and always bending and stretching but id does not feel like a strain / pull. Have had a pelvic uss which was all NAD, been to GP she was not sure, but has arranged some bloods. I have never had this pain in my life before and its really scaring me. Any ideas? Would be appreciated.

thanx for reply, i think i do need to go back to docs again, just such a strange pain that i have never had before.

Hi, Tammystew, and welcome!  Your subject line caught my eye because I went through the groin pain this winter.  It was like raw nerve pain and I barely could lift my feet off the floor and trying to get my legs into bed was a trick!

 

I went to a rheumatologist (I have fibromyalgia) and he ran a lot of blood work and took many x-rays and also MRI's and discovered I had ankylosing spondylitis.  I had no disc problems at all!  But the inflammation from this illness was putting pressure on the nerves and caused the pain.  He put me on ibuprofen with food and a muscle relaxer called Robaxin and now I have no more groin pain!

 

It was a simple solution for me and it could be for you, too.  BUT you do have to see a doctor to make sure what is going on with you.  As was said by another member, we are not doctors here so we really don't know what is going on. 

 

I hope you do head to the doctor.  That pain is horrible.  Let us know what you find out because we really do care about you.

Tammy-
I also suffer from bad groin pain- I've had it since 2004. I have had every test known to man done, blood work, CT Scan's, MRI's, Bone scans, Nerve Tests, etc, and no one has been able to tell me why I have this pain. It's a deep pain and makes it hard to walk. I also have numbness in my foot from it. The closest I've gotten to figuring out what is wrong is when I was going to physical therapy- My therapist said my pain was coming from my back. She did exercises that proved this, but I had to stop the physical therapy as it was causing my pain to be much worse in my back.

So, my question for you- do you have any back problems? You really should ask your Dr about this. I know how much you are suffering as I live with the groin pain everyday, luckily for me I've had it so long that I pretty much forget that it's there unless it is flaring up really bad.

I do hope you find some answers and can get some relief soon. Please keep us updated.

Tammy-
I never thought my back problems could have caused my groin problems, but it was pretty apparent when my therapist would push on my back or do an exercise for my back. This has been years and years of me not knowing what was wrong...The only problem is, there's not much that takes the groin pain away for me. Lyrica does help some, but when it's flaring really bad I'm just about in tears and stuck in bed. Good luck with your appointment on Monday & do let us know how it goes.
