Hi there

Hope someone may be able to help and seen my sypmtoms before.

I am a distance runner competing at a high level in the uk but ahve been struggling with an injury since late Feb. Unfortunatly i tend not to take notice of injuries and usually can run through it and recover with some light training so the order things happened to me is a bit unclear.

Therefore I might as well just tell you the symptoms.

Groin pain in the RH side - in particular when pulling the legs together.
Abdominal pain in the rh side - can feel this when i stretch this area in conjunction with groin and also coughing/sneezing.
Mid-lower back pain in the RH side - not always there.
Nerve/Sciatica pain - in RH leg hamstring, glutes and genitals.

My GP thought i might have a hernia and referred me to a specialist who told me i didnt and went as far to rule out a sports hernia.
I have seen two phyisos who both believe that the symptoms point towards a sports hernia. Seeing a specialist sports doctor next week who appraently will be able to diagnose this.

I am not running at the moment and am fed up and confused about what is wrong. Pulled ou of the london marathon the week before after struggling through 15 weeks of training and just need to get a diagnosis to get to the bottom of it.

Any advice/help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

Dave
