Groin injury, only in the morning!

Hi ,
Do u have a sciatic pain associated with the groin pain?can u bend to pick up objects from the floor -as an example?

thanks again for your feedback folks. A friend of mine had an op for gilmore groin last yr but his symptoms don't sound anything like mine to be honest and I'm not getting any abdominal pain or discomfort at all. It's more concentrated at the top of the leg i think, just under pelvis.

I'm not sure what sciatic pain is but no, I don't have a problem with picking objects off the floor. But if i stand on bad leg and rotate hips, that would be sore ie when i put pressure on the inside of leg I think! It does get much better when i warm it up by running so I'm thinking it's a musculer issue? Physio is kinda at a loss also but seems to think maybe it's caused by the way my hip joints are orientated due to flat feet...does this make any sense?

Gilmores Groin will not normally cause abdominal pain. It is basically the tearing of the adductor longus tendon off the pubic bone, so this is where the pain would be. It should be more painful during hip rotation in standing than in sitting as more stability is needed in the pelvis when weight bearing.

I understand what the physio is saying about flat feet, but why has it suddenly come on now if that were the case. If you want to look into this further a podiatrist is the person to see, but personally don't think it will solve your problem.
