Groin pain?

Question

I am a 50 year old male and have been experiencing pains im my right groin since about 7 months ago. Up until Christmas I played 5-a-side football for an hour, once a week.
It all began suddenly, after a game and having cooled down, with a pain down the inside of my leg. Stupidly I kept playing every week, because I found that while I played and the are was warm, I could not feel anything. After about 3 months the pain subsided and the pain at the top of my groin began.

It can be very persistent and very acutely painful, or sometimes I do not feel it at all??? The interesting thing is that if I try to push on the area where I think the pain is coming from, I can never find a tender area.

It is all very frustrating, as it now stopping me from doing Gym work as well!

Answer 1

you may have a pinched nerve in your lower lumbar region that would affect the pain area of the groin or upper thigh. Get it checked by a good orthopedic

Answer 2

Could be a strain deep inside the inguinal area. It could be an inguinal hernia. It could also be nerve pain. If it has not subsided, it definitely isn't muscular. I would see a doc. It's important. If you have an inguinal hernia, for example, this means your bowel is being trapped in a rip in your abdominal wall. Overtime, your bowel can become ischemic (the tissue dies). Would you really want to loose the use of your bowels over this??

Yes, doctors have no desire in helping you understand the cause for sciatica and how to prevent it from becoming chronic, they just dope you up (because they get payed by drug companies to do that) until you become addicted to pain killers. Anyway, I'll stop the ranting. This is an article about natural treatment to sciatica and the root cause of it, hope it helps: "Most of us describe this kind of pain as “pain running down to the back of the legs”. Usually it feels like a burning or tingling in the buttocks, but the pain tends to “travel” all the way to your toes. The pain tends to increase when you sit down and sometimes you can experience lower back pain as well. Actually, sciatic pain is not a condition – It’s a symptom of a condition. To find out why you have sciatic pain you must find out the underlying condition. You may find that getting sciatic pain relief means treatment to your herniated disc. It could also be the symptom for spinal stenosis, Piriformis Syndrome or Spondylolisthesis. I know, these are big words, but it’s important to understand that treating this pain will not eliminate the reason for it. hat Causes Sciatic Pain The root cause of most of this symptom is – Muscle Imbalances. A muscle imbalance happens when you have over-developed and tight muscles in one area of your body, while the opposing muscles are weaker and stretched out of their normal position. Medication, back massages and even work out and stretches will not get you sciatic pain relief! The only way to truly solve this is returning the muscle balance back. Why the Traditional Treatments Don’t Work The traditional treatments include NSAIDs drugs, Cortisone injections, ultrasound, exercise and electrical stimulation. These treatments do not address the muscle imbalance – the root of the problem. That’s why most people do not find relief and suffer for years. What is The Best way to Get Sciatica Relief? Muscle Balance Therapy is one of the most powerful tools you can use to achieve sciatic pain relief – for good. The Greeks knew about this 2500 years ago. But like many natural therapies it was lost and replaced by conventional medical treatments that focus on symptom relief instead of solving the actual problem itself! It starts with assessing the problem – finding out accurately where are the imbalances. Once that’s done you will finally find the core to your problem – and learn to immediately correct it for good.
