I developed right groin pain after doing some work involving a wheelbarrow, a load of clay dirt, and a ramp. Doc said I had an inguinal hernia so that was fixed. However, the pain did not go away. The only way for relief was to sit! For 20 years I had the pain, I called it my "string" because it felt like a string was wrapped around my hip bone and connected to my groin. Then, 20 years later, I had a hysterectomy. Groin pain gone. No explanation.
