Hi Alex. I have something similar. I've two slipped discs and my spine a little scoliosis which makes me lean to the right. Past few months I've had pain at times only on the left side of my groin. In my case it's thought that it's due to the strain/pinching on nerves which is connected too this area which is causing it. I'm currently awaiting disc surgery which they think will release all this and take the pressure/twisting off it. For myself I've used like a gel ice pack and seems to calm it down a bit though a good tip is too put a thick towel/cloth between your delicate bits and the ice pack lol. It does seem to help at times with myself. Hope you get sorted out soon enough. 👍

When my back pain started it was in my piriformis muscle which is in the butt cheek. I got a trigger point injection there and within a month my piriformis muscle stop hurting and my pain was in my lower back. That is where my pain has remained for the last 10 years. It is possible that what you're feeling is radiating pain from your lower back. I don't have any suggestions for you on how to control the pain just an idea of where that pain could be coming from. Good luck on this situation.

Hi!
It sounds either like a pinched nerve or maybe sciatica. Ask your GP to refer you to a neurologist or an orthopedic surgeon. They should be able to properly diagnos your problem.

Thanks for your reply I dont think its sciatica there is no pain running down the back of the leg . They did mention a pressed disk, even though the pain in the back has gone the pinched nerve could be part of the problem Thanks

I don't have groin pain, but I do have Lower Back Pain and Leg Pain when I stand and walk for more than a few minutes...I'm 72 years old, have curvature of my spine, and have degenerative discs...Back operations tend to be Less Than 60% successful...Thus, there appears little I can do...

Now I have lower back pain again and a numb foot that after 18 months, X-Ray, CT Scan and MRI have not found a reason for.

It can still be sciatica. Sciatica doesn't always run down the leg, sometimes it just runs down to the bottom of the butt. Sometimes it's across the back or around the front. It just depends on the nerve damage.

When you sit you stretch out your spine and that in turn relieves the pressure on a nerve that innervates the groin.
Perhaps you might lie on the floor and elevate your knee until the pain ceases. Placing a flat gel pack, frozen of course, beneath your lumbar soine will help bring the inflammation down...at least 30 minutes.
You may also consider acetaminophen 500 mg taken no closer than 6 hours.
kind regards
