Suggest Treatment For Pain In Groin Area
Question: I have pain in my right groin area. It is hard to bare weight. I can not cross my right leg over my left without significant pain. If I am completely off my feet and take aspirin it is better. The pain radiates down the thigh and stops at the knee. I was bit by a deer tick 2 weeks ago. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not.
Brief Answer:
cannot say in your particular case
Detailed Answer:
there can be several things from a bug bite. There is the venom. This is spider not tick. But the venom can cause direct dying off of flesh looking like a cigarette burn 2 to 5 days after the bite. If it isn't visible by a week. It didn't happen. Then, there can be plain infection. Mostly the infection is visible like a skin infection with local pus, redness, warmth and raised area. But it can be organisms that do not produce local infection. Lyme is one. Rocky mountain spotted fever is another. Many are not even known. Tetracycline tends to work on all of them. There can be overall effects like fever, sickness, lymph nodes and feeling sick. Lyme causes localized areas of infection like spots of internal rust. These can be in the joints (arthritis) or in the nerves. BUt it is spots of infection ... one or more. It can also cause an inflammation of the brain. People with this are unable to type questions on the internet.
Then...... there are things that cause pain in the groin. Lymph nodes and / or infection can. But so can a plain muscle pull or a traumatized nerve. These are really easy to tell on an exam by poking spots and seeing what hurts. Muscle. Joint. Nerve. Tender lymph node. Not being able to poke it. I cannot tell further.
