What Causes Severe Left Sided Groin Pain?
My 84 year old mom has terrible left side groin pain. The Dr. Did an X-ray & said it was probably referred pain from Arthritis in the left hip. She did PT, Accupunture & nothing has helped. She is also taking Celebrex but it doesn t take the pain away just dulls it a little. Now she is talking about hip replacement surgery but I feel that should be as a last resort. Any other suggestions?

Dear patient
if Xray is showing arthritis in the hip definitive treatment is total hip replacement. Because once joint surfaces are damaged due to arthritis pain will be there and if pain relief is needed that arthritic surfaces has to be replaced. Total hip replacement is rewarding procedure and with good results. please consult hip surgeon nearby your area. Meanwhile start tab ultracet twice a day for pain relief.
