is this common in fibro?

[nadine1974]

i keep getting bad groin pain on my left side where my leg meets my body (where knicker elastic is) is this just another fm symptom? also my weight gain is still on the increase which is making me more miserable x

Hi Nadine,

I get pain there too. I hadn't thought about it being a symptom of fibro. I think we get to the stage where we wonder if everything we have is related to it. I've gained weight too, I'm on Gabapentin but I'm nearly 60 and I eat all the wrong food so I can't say whether or not mine is due to fibro

Hi ive just joined this group, im amazed by how many people are suffering with the same pains, both my groins were hurting just to walk hurt, now the pain has gone, very uncomfortable ..

i have a bulging disc and degenerative spine (l4/l5/s1) so could be from my back, also that hip clicks quite alot! thanku for the advice, i just hate going to gp, although next time im going to ask for a different doctor, as my last visit encountered a patronising pig!! im under a surgery rather than a doctor, so you never know who you shall see! but requesting a lady doc will guarantee me not seeing him again xx

Have you been referred for physio?

[nadine1974 in reply to LindseyMid]

no, and he refused to referme to the pain clinic, he said he had loads different pill combinations to try before he even thought of referring me!! im so sick of this pain! x

i always get it on the left side which causes me to use a walking stick when it is flared up.

Hi nadine, it sounds more like an inguinal hernia....I had one repaired in 1998, exact same place only the right side, might be worth getting it checked out !

I get this pain here too - find it really annoying as there's nothing that can ease it when it happens (despite my regular doses of tramadol, gabapentin and paracetamol)
