What Is The Remedy For The Pain In My Groin?

HELLO: A few weeks ago I awoke with a pain in my groin. Thought it was a sports injury and eventually visited my GP. She ordered an Xray, physio and Tylenol. The physio therapist said it was an injury to the pectineous muscle and the Xray indicates osteoarthritis. I have been very active for many years and enjoy swimming and weight lifting. Do you think this is a combination of both or could it simply be the pectineous muscle and is there any hope of the pain going away? Thank you for any comments you might have. Barbara

hi there, sorry to hear about the pain. osteoarthritis is a disease that progresses with age, so the pain and stiffness would likely get worse with time. however, if think pain control and physiotherapy are the right way to go. At some point, I would recommend seeing an orthopedic surgeon to discuss about possible surgical options particularly hip replacement. another option is injection into the hip - this is a specialized procedure usually done by orthopedic surgeons or special radiologists and provides temporary pain relief.
