Could it be referred pain from your lumbar spine? Have you had an MRI?

Hi slightly different to you but I had awful groin pain that was on going from my hip replacement 2 years ago. I also had an infected bursa drained and a steroid injection that's worked wonders. Might be worth asking for a steroid injection

Yes I have the same problem but mine has been diagnosed as Sciatica; the pain travels down one leg as well. Your problem could be a completely different diagnosis

are you sure its not your SI joint? Despite months of physio after my THR, I have reduced mobility in my hip and it causes my SI joint to work much much harder, causing pain.
