Sometimes hip problems are felt in the groin. Have you asked your GP to check your hips?

Hi, no I have not seem the GP yet as this started out of the blue around 4pm yesterday and got worse as the evening went on but I have taken a couple of tramadol (did not do anything) but around 4:30am I took one steroid tablet which seems to have made it. Lot better I hooe it does not last too long x

Hi I get groin pain I have AS even though it’s very well controlled I still get a lot of pelvic and groin pain . I have bilateral bursitis in the hips right side worse and probably due to late diagnosis I’d got some herniated lumbar discs so I imagine the inflammation is there at groin . Most annoying trying to abduct leg or getting out of a chair at times . Definitely talk to your doctor I found anti inflammatories don’t seem to help but as Orr referred pain from hip steroid injections do . 💐

Yes, always right groin, intermittently, several months now , saw GP 3 days whom lead me on coach to examine by placing fingers on groin and me coughing few times.

Dismissed hernia : definitely RA. Advised paracetamol.

Yes I have suffered really bad with groin pain. Started in the right one and was diagnosed with OA in the right hip. Then it started in left groin and has been pure agony for the last couple of months. Saw Rheumy 3 weeks ago and sent for X-rays. Severe Osteoarthritis in both hips and recommended both hips to be replaced. See specialist next week. Not saying that you have the same but please have it seen to if just to put your mind at rest. It could get worse xx

I have sero positive RD . Can get acute inflammations in any joint on top of the general creaks. Have had sudden acute disabling groin pain twice now - lasts a few days. MRI shows no O/A there and when the pain stops I’m back to normal hip function. So it’s been put down to RD. Hopefully you’ll be better soon. The groin pain is very acute and very disabling- as bad as an acute slipped disc . Ruined a holiday this year.!

Could it possibly be a cramp? I get really bad leg cramps at times.

Hi no it was not cramp I am sure x

Yes Tillie, I have had very bad groin pain at times. When I was only 16 years old I had it so badly that I ended up in hospital for investigations. They never found out what was wrong but looking back I think that I probably had RA as long ago as that but in a more minor way. At that time, it lasted for months and then just suddenly went. Then when I was 28 it started up again after I had a bout of glandular fever.

Now, I just get the occasional twinge there and it can be very painful at times. We have a lot of glands in our groins so I assume that they are what is causing the pain.

I hope yours eases off soon.

Yes, many times. It usually happens when I would lay down and muscles would stiffen up. After a good nights sleep it would leave me. I have not had it in years. But there were years when it happened often I

believe those were the years I was in school a

And under a lot of stress

I’m guessing this is inflammation inside the hip capsule. I also get it. I can’t sit upright on my hip and lying down seem to be the most accommodating position. So sorry! It’s pretty miserable. Hugs

I experienced groin pain before hip replacement and was told to put cushion between my knees.....it definitely helped but a nuisance when turning in bed. Hope you’re improving and getting better sleep 💤
