What Causes Pain In Groin And Pelvic Area When Lifting Heavy Objects?

Hi, I was at work and I was lifting heavy boxes and my groin and pelvic area started to hurt. I had this problem when I was younger. I was just wondering if this is going to keep happening for the rest of my life, because then I can t do any heavy lifting jobs, or is there something that can be done. I also stretch that area every day before I go to work

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

As per your symptom and history there is possibility of acute muscle spasm in lower lumbar region due to LIFTING OF HEAVY WEIGHT.
Due to repeated trauma there can be internal injury to muscles.

For these symptoms muscle relaxant with analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started consulting your treating doctor.
Till time take rest and continue analgesic available over the counter take rest, and hot fomentation.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
You may need to do MRI lumbar spine if symptoms persist.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Do ice fomentation, take rest and gradually start spine exercises.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
