Groin / upper inner thigh pain

[Pippa73]

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.
