Groin and hip pain after wearing boot on other side
I had left ankle tendon repair surgery in January. I could not put any weight on the left side for 2 weeks then in a boot for 6 weeks. I started with the opposite groin and hip pain right after probably due to overcompensating on that side. I had to hop up a few steps and hop to sit on toilet. But I now have groin pain in right side (opposite from boot and surgery) and I feel a sudden catch when getting up from sitting? At first everyone including my GP said give it a chance once you are out of the boot. I have been out of the boot for a week and its worse. I am so sick of another soft tissue situation!! And I have fear and now obsessing over worrying about it. Its an ache and the sudden pain when moving after sitting. I have been trying to walk more and I am still doing PT for the left tendon strengthening . I told PT the cycle hurts my groin so I am not doing that! Any suggestions?? Help. I am not sure if stretching will harm it more?

Go to PT
I received the shot but I don't really thing it did much. It was hard to tell because as soon as I finished the PT for my ankle tendon repair it got better. Plus good sneakers and not having the boot. I am sure one day I will need a hip replacement but for now I walk at least a mile per day on even flat surfaces. I walked fast uphill about a month ago and it acted up and after a week it calmed down as I did not walk until it calmed down,
