What Causes Chronic Groin Pain Along With Difficulty To Bend The Leg?
what causes groin pain to the point of being unable to bend the leg when getting in the car ? i had a bulge (pear like) in my left leg muscle between the groin and the knee that dissapeared a couple of days later. doctors couldn t tell where it came from and all x-rays showed nothing. now, a few years later, there is a small stiff spot that reminds of that issue. i m left with the groin and muscle pain between the groin area and the knee and i limp heavily. nobody can diagnose this.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have chronic groin pain along with difficulty to bend the leg . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like peripheral neuropathy , porphyria , multiple sclerosis , wernicke syndrome , low blood iron level and vitamin B 12 deficiency . There can be other reasons also like blood clot and disc problem . I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor will take history , examine physically and order blood test . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory along either iron and vitamin B 12 supplement . Put your legs in hot water tub with one spoon of salt for 15 minutes. Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgeon for disc problem . Doctor may refer you to orthopedic surgeon for joint problem . For now apply cold compresses to groin area and wear loose cloths.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
