Groin / upper inner thigh pain

[Alex_Steel]

I am currently awaiting a scan for what sounds like an almost identical pain with very similar symptoms. I experienced the pain initially about 3 months ago in my upper right leg/groin and it slowly subsided over a 5 week period. Then out of the blue one night at work it returned and with lower back pain too (possibly sciatic?) and I was almost unable to walk or straighten up. Anti-inflams and painkillers from the doc saw me back on my feet within a week. However, the pain is still there and is aggravated by movement rather than heavy lifting. I have noticed that when I cough or sneeze the pain is very sharp and almost unbearable, but only when stood upright or while walking. I will post again with scan results once I have them next month and I am doing various stretches and generally being very careful when bending etc. If I come across an accurate diagnosis I'll let you know! :-(

This thread has been going for a while! Alex, what is the update from your last post?
I have similar pain as you. If I am standing, walking or straight and cough / sneeze then shooting , blinding pain in my inner left thigh. I have also lost the ability to lift my leg up or put pants on. Even getting in the car or bed is difficult as I am not able to lift my leg without helping it (I lift it with my hands). This has been going for 5 weeks now and the only thing that has improved is that I am coughing less but the pain inside my inner thigh is huge. Is it a nerve squashed between my joints? I don't have back pain. I dont play sport but I am 15kgs overweight. Has my weight done something to the siatica nerve? I am just trying to eliminate as my dr and 2 others have just told me to wait it out and it will pass.
It does not seem to be passing!
The whole thing with my leg started when I got an extreme cough that lasted few weeks.
Any other comments appreciated.
