What Causes Stabbing Pain In Groin And Body Stiffness?

I keep on getting a shooting stabbing pain in the left side of my groin it s so painful I have to stop and stiffned my body to cope with the pain it comes unexpectedly but is intense. I ha had numerous ultra sound and told my heart lungs kidneys and womb and checked for hernia and live problems but my symtims continue regardless. I am a bus driver a done this for over 20 years. I need help desperately at least get diagnose I am totally helpless. Told it could be sciatica.

without an exam, I can only give general information; this would be really helped by an exam. Just poking various areas to see where the pain is, would pinpoint the problem. Generally it is irritation of a tendon in the groin. It can be a hernia in the inguinal region. Sciatica generally is in the back going down the legs. I've had one patient with it going down the insides of the thighs but by definition, sciaitica would have to follow a tract of a nerve and this doesn't seem to be that pattern (but one of a groin tendon).
