If u have a hard time walking without pain tell them to check for spinal stenosis might be getting worse.

I have severe groin pain which is being referred from my degenerative hip. My hip doesn't hurt at all. You can see the structural appearance of the hip socket and the bony head of the femor simply from an xray. If it's bone on bone you can see that. An ultrasound of the hip joint and groin will show problems with the soft tissue. While an MRI will show more detail you can still see whats going on with these orher modalities. I can clearly see the femoral head and the hip socket on my xray. There's no magic wand for bone on bone. I am on an 18 month wait list for a hip replacement. I am also a massage therapist and have treated many cases like this. I can't make it go away but I can help the muscles and tendons which affect the hip.

@santafesuz I have had this groin pain too and it extended all the way to my ankle. I do know in my case, this is because my pelvis can shift out of alignment. When that happens I also get low back pain only on one side until I get realigned. My physical therapist showed me an exercise to do for this. If hip flexors get too tight, it makes this worse, so I have to stretch those and lay on something that mashes into it. Overly tight hip flexors can be caused by sitting too much and it's very common. This groin pain happened suddenly when I was riding my horse, and I did get off and do my exercise to realign my pelvis, and then got back on and finished the ride without pain. A PT should be looking for something like a misaligned pelvis.
