Had Some Discomfort In Groin, Lower Back Pain. What Can Be Done?
I'm 40. Male. Don't drink or smoke. I've had some discomfort in my groin for a short time. I've also had some lower back pain but that occurred after lifting something (and don't have a very good mattress). Now I have a metallic taste in my mouth and some right side discomfort. I don't have health insurance but am planning to go to a clinic this evening. I have a slight headache as well. I am reasonably fit (ran a 24:30 5K last weekend).

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the groin with discomfort in the back could be related to a hip joint pathology or a disc degeneration at the level of lumbar spine. An MRI scan will help in proper diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
