    Re: groin/hip problem

    I would recommend a medical check up, if not already mentioned.

    Re: groin/hip problem

    Just on a general point, most groin pain originates as a compensatory mechanism for hip abduction weakness or piriformis tightness. Pain can spread into the testicles as they share the same fascial field as the adductors. You could benefit from someone who knows the myofascial approach, who can test the strength patterns of the hips and flexibility of the fascia in the area. Restoring hip strength, NOT through exercise but via myofascial release, can prevent the compensatory actions of the adductors, thus relieve pain.
