What Causes Groin Pain On The Left Side?

I have been experiencing pain in the left side of my groin for the past few months, although it isn t constant it bothers me when I go for lengthy walks and sometimes when I wake up. Also, there is an area on my back, mid left side where I have a feeling of heaviness, almost a denseness that doesn t hurt but is tender to touch

Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.

As per your symptom and history there is possibility of acute muscle spasm in back muscle.
Due to compression of this nerve root there is pain associated with it.

For these symptoms muscle relaxant with analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started consulting your treating doctor.
Till time take rest and continue analgesic available over the counter take rest, and hot fomentation.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
You may need to do MRI spine if symptoms persist to look for any benign lesion or disc.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.


Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
