What Causes Burning Pain In The Groin Area?

I ve been to my doctor to find out why I am experiencing severe burning pain in the crease between my groin and right leg. It goes away when I lay down but comes back up when I sit and the process of sitting, standing and bending certain ways can be exgruciating. It is like someone poured boiling water on the area and radiates out from there. Can you help?
