Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain all over the abdomen with a feeling of bloating is most likely to be related to gas and indigestion. Doing some dietary modifications, taking plenty of fluids and some over the counter products like Beano ( enzyme preparation), Tums (antacid), activated charcoal, etc can help you. You can also take an anti spasmodic from your nearest pharmacy.
The pain in the groin is likely to be related to the back pain and sciatica. Taking adequate bed rest, hot fomentation and applying a local analgesic might give you a temporary relief. For proper diagnosis and investigations like MRI, I encourage you to consult your Orthopedician.
I hope this answers your query effectively.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
