What Does Pain In The Groin Area Upon Standing And Sitting Indicate?

I m a 56 year old female with pain in my upper thigh/groin area when I first stand from sitting down, or when I change directions when walking. I ve been going to a chiropractor because I thought it was an issue with my lower back/hip. Seems that s not helping. Could this be a symptom of something else?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,



This kind of pain usually appears in sacroiliitis, slipped disc at upper lumbar level, hip pathology. I suggest X rays of hips, pelvis and lower lumbar spine. Treatment depends on cause. In the meantime start pain killers and muscle relaxants.



Hope I have answered your query.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
