Brief Answer:
Slip disc compressing the nerves

Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

The knot is usually a muscle spasm. It appears as such because of the inherent properties.

Apply hot packs to the affected region. Perform back extension exercises.

The groin pain that is radiating could be due to a slip disc.

Avoid bending forwards or lifting weights. Apply hot packs to the affected region. Take Tablet Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for 5 days. Take Tablet Pregabalin 75mg at night for 2 months. Get an MRI of the lumbar and lumbosacral spine to look for a slip disc that may be compressing the nerves.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr.Aashish Raghu
