Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a runner that has not run for a while. My left groin area has an annoying pain. Almost like it is week. Does not really hurt when I do run and bothers me more when I pick my left leg up. Also my it bands bother me after only a few miles and have run half marathons in the past with no issues. Thinking I need to build hip strength. Wondering if weak hips could both issues.
Most probably it can be a musculoskeletal pain. As a first line of management you can take analgesics/antispasmodic combination like Aceclofenac/Baclofen combination for symptomatic relief. Take bed rest for couple of days. If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopedics and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
