Pain upper groin area

[Phillipa]

Hi,

This could be completely irrelevant but I had pain in my groin area .... i hadnt had any fall, just a sharp stabbing pain when i went out running one day (i run most days so this wasn't unusual exercise!!). I had described it to the doctors as being a stabbing pain in by pubic area..... on the right side. It was worse when i stood on my leg and i could also feel it when i was sitting but it wasnt as bad. I was given a few diagnoses.... groin strain/ligament damage/muscle tear..... also one of the physios said there was nothing wrong with my going area and it was referred pain from my back!

After a battle to get a letter for an MRI, it turned out i actually had fractured my pelvis.... inferior pubic ramis to be more specific! Very unusual for someone of my age (25). Ive since had blood tests and my bone function appears normal so its possible it was just a random fracture.... although id be interested to hear if anyone has any thoughts on another possible explanation??!!!

As i said, it may be completely irrelevant but I would suggest that you get an MRI scan if possible as it will either rule in or rule out what it might be. Also, as far as i know (could be wrong) but an X-ray may not show up a fracture especially if its only a minor one! Plus the MRI will show up any muscle damage etc...

Anyway... i really hope you manage to determine the root of the pain..... its extremely frustrating not knowing!

Take care

Thank you for that, my sincere apologises for the long delay before replying but I had forgotten my password<< My Doc still has no idea but has referred me back to my Consultant, when pain is here it's quite horrid.. BUT it's not every day so awaits the referral
Once again thank you
