@mari hi mari I have groin pain but mine is due to my back do you have anything back problems?If ice doesn't help it and rest which is my experience I would go to your P.C.P they can advice you .Linda

No Linda, not my back. I was shoveling dirt and reaching to put dirt onto base of orange tree. Pain was not sudden but, day 2 and 3 have been extrodinally PAINFUL. Will get walker or cane and see Dr. today. Only Oxy can help this pain. Dyclofinac does not help.

Has anyone experienced this severe pain with Every movement in groin? After X-ray and Cat scan - told I don't need MRI. But, only OXy given, 1 darn week at a time. Oxy makes it a little tolerable. Told to go home nd rest, like I have a choice ? Any Ideas?

I've been getting groin pain - at least I think it's groin pain. In "searching" I found the bone from the pubic area to the leg ?????? is very tender. Is that considered "groin"???? I have it from trouble getting up from a chair because of my bad legs.

Could you have strained the area?
It is VERY easy to do.
Walking, stretching, sqeezing on the toilet (sorry), walking, turning when asleep. Etc.
Try an ice pack for a few days and consciously stretch before getting out of bed and before getting up if you have been sitting too long.
If these things don't help after a reasonable amount of time, I suggest that you go to the doctor.

I am not a medical professional.
Good luck!
