I also had the groin pain off and on for maybe the first 2 months but it's now gone and I'm 6 months out.
My surgeon told me to not do anything that causes groin pain so don't overdue it.
Give yourself time to heal.
Good luck on your recovery!

I suggest you take things a little easier, 7 weeks is still very early post op.
Good luck.

As others have said I think pain in the groin is a clear signal that you are doing too much and you need to slow down at whichever point you are at on your healing journey.
I am 8 weeks post op now and can do almost anything now. However at the weekend I twice went for a longer walk than usual and after a while the pain in my groin on the operated side started. On the second occasion I knew it was time to stop and rest.
The pain has gone today but I won't be pushing myself so hard for a while. It keeps coming back to the need for us to listen and respond to our own bodies.
I do hope you feel better soon.
Best wishes
Carole
