What Is The Cause For Frequent Stabbing Pain In The Groin Area With A History Of Uric Acid Kidney Stones?
Hello
Today, out of the blue, I was sitting at my desk and go a very sharp stabbing pain, near my left testicle.
It is not in the testicle, actually up in my groin. It felt liked I was being poked with a needle. I got up and rubbed the area and walked around . . . and the pain went away. SInce then I have gotten the sharp pain about every couple of hours. It comes with no warning. The pain only last about 5 - 10 seconds, but hurts tremendously. It seems that moving helps get rid of the pain, but don't know for sure. The pain makes me have to move and walk.
I just saw a dentist yesterday because of a tooth ache. He said I need a root canal and prescribe amoxicillin for the infection. Could this be related to the new stabbing groin pains ?
Also, I have had uric acid kidney stones.

Hi. From your history this looks to be a stone impacted or trying to pass through the ureter on the same side of the pain. No relation to amoxicillin. Get the urine test and sonography done, Visit a Doctor for clinical examination as to see there is no hernia or so.
