Hi,
It seems that you might be having degenerative changes in your hip joint or in lumbo-sacral vertebrae giving rise to this problem.
Go for x-ray pelvic region.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Go for physiotherapy.
Take calcium. vitamin A and D supplements.
Ok and take care.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement Dr. Saurabh Gupta's  Response
Hi and welcome to HCM
Severe groin pain could be due to arthritic changes in your hip joint. So it is also become painful to move your leg. Xray is required to see any arthritic changes.I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
Hope this will helps you. Take care.
