I have had the pain since my catheter was removed . In the groin and around into my butt. It has been one year. My urologist say it is muscle. I have tried acupuncture with no help. My pain will come and go

Also would appreciate any suggestion

The urologist may be on the right track. I am currently going to physical therapy for the pelvic floor.
They are telling me I have a lot of tension in my pelvic floor muscles. A bio feedback test shows this andI saw this on a screen. It is due to recovery from prostatectomy and strengthening the pelvic floor with Kegels to prevent incontinence.
It’s too early to tell but I am doing stretches now to relieve and relax that tension. The therapy was suggested by my new urologist after 2 1/2 years of searching for answers and going down quite a few expensive rabbit holes. My pain is more in the distal urethra however so…
For you it may be worth a try based on what you report here. I hope this may help you.
