Extreme Pain In Groin, Severe Pain In Left Leg While Lifting, Unable To Hold It Up For Long, Nausea, Pain In Testis. Avid Runner. Advice

I have extreme pain in my groin. I'm an avid runner, most days 8-11 miles. Recently I developed a condition in my left leg that will not allow me to pick up my leg without excruciating pain, and when I do pick it up, it is only maybe 4 inches. I can't hold it up and falls back to the ground. Some nausea, testicular pain

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

You could have suffered a Groin strain. It is important to rest following the injury to allowed the injured muscle to properly heal. Activities which cause symptoms should be avoided.

Gentle stretching will be helpful but it should not be painful.

Apply ice to the injured area in the acute phase (first 48 hours after injury), and then after activities. Ice will help calm the inflammatory response and stimulate blood flow to the area.

Oral anti-inflammatory medications (such as Aleve or Motrin) can help relieve symptoms of pain and also calms the inflammation.

Hope this information is helpful. Good day
