Suggest Remedy For Groin Pain
I have had intermittent pains in the groin on the right hand side for the last 10 days. There seems to be no bulge. I had been seeing a physio for neck and back pains previously and have been given several exercises. How can I determine if this groin pain is due to trapped wind or psoas injury or referred pain from the back. Trapped wind seems the most likely but why should it always occur in the same place and why did I not have it before. Thank you.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The most common cause of groin pain is a muscle, tendon or ligament strain.
Another common cause of groin pain is an inguinal hernia. An inguinal hernia occurs when internal tissues of the abdomen push through a weak spot in the groin muscles.
An abdominal ultrasound is required to make the differential diagnosis and take proper treatment.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
