Why Did I Get Pain In My Hip And Groin After Jogging?
I went jogging last night and when I got back to the house I got a horrible pain in my hip and groin.. I just brushed it off and went inside and drank some water and showered. I went to bed and when I got up I couldn't lift my leg to get back into bed and I could barely walk. What is going on?

Your description of symptoms suggest an pain over a short period.
This can typically happen if there was a pulled muscle/ligaments during running, the risk being greater if there was no warm-up and stretching done before jogging. Also if you started jogging after a gap of few weeks, that may result in acute muscle strain.
You need to take rest and avoid further jogging and take pain medicines like Diclofenac and paracetamol combination twice daily for 2-3 days.
