groin/hip problem

[jeffrow]

i was recently taking ibuprofen to treat a problem that i had with my testicle, and i was spending most days just sitting with my legs apart. The past month i've had pain in my inner thigh-groin area, and have been trying to exercise a little each day (walking) to get it better, but its no good. its not really bad to walk on, mainly it just feels strained, but sometimes there is a shooting pain around my groin, and it doesnt seem to be improving.

hi friend,
i need a bit more information
since how long you are having this pain.is there any history of groin injury.you had any urinary tract infections?
currently is there any pain associated with urination.is it interfering with your sexual life/
is coughing has any effect on your groin pain.
any movement of the hip while lying down is reproducing pain?

no history of groin injury. i spent about 3 months, pretty much just sitting still and not moving, with my legs apart, and although i've finaly cured the problem that i had with my testicle, my legs arnt too good now. mostly its the right leg. i think all that time i spent with my legs apart has stretched the groin muscles somehow. i had no infections, and had seen the doctors about the testicle problem, and they eventually decided it was nothing serious although they didn't know exactly what was wrong as they couldnt see or feel anything. but what that was is basicly my right nut was in like an inflamation cycle.
anyway, back to the leg; coughing doesnt affect it. i started walking for 5 mins a day 2 weeks ago hoping that would fix my leg but it was probably not a good idea to do it every day. anyway, it seems a little better now. u got any suggestion of a way i can speed up the healing?
walking doesn't really hurt, just its a little less flexible .

hi friend
thanks for putting up details.is the inner thigh and groin pain is on both the sides or only on one side.just to know any relation is there with the inflammatory cycle in your right testicle.
in 24 hours,how the pain varies?

Hi,

Iv had this groin pain for around 9 months ever since the football season started. I dont remember how i did it at all, just felt like a groin strain too me so foolishly i kept playing. Around December time, the pain was rediculous, i had several weeks off to rest but as soon as i came back so did this pain. Everytime i played, it would swell up badly the next day.

Its in a very particular place, right leg, Pubis insertion i believe its called. Iv had ultrasound, scans, all sorts but no doctor can figure out problem but to this day is still very very sore. Walking tends to be fine but as soon i use this muscle e.g running or passing a football - it tweaks it and cant move the next day. Iv ruled out it being a sports hernia but its very hard to treat a problem if you dont know what it is.

Football season has finished now till August so in process of having physio. Really strange thing is, my physio said my muscles in my leg are too muscular and i have really short hamstrings - could this be a factor in my problem??

Please, anyone who has some imformation, id love to hear it

Regards

Stevie

Have you considered that your groin pain might have its origin in your Thoracolumbar region? Check this and retest the groin movements. Additionally, many footballers I see with groin problems sit in lumbar flexion and laterally rotated hips. They attempt to run and kick a ball in this position and therefore stress the groin. You need to change how you sit and run and then see what happens to the symptoms.

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

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.
