Does anyone else have stabbing groin pain. I have had this iritating pain occasionaly over the last few years but just lately its every month. It is not an ache, its more like a short sharp stabbing pain, it really hurts, makes me go OUCH and I have to stop whatever I am doing for a few seconds. I tend to get it for only one day and then it fades

I too have been getting pains in groin last few years - for me it used to be a sign that my period was imminent. My periods are getting further and further apart now but still get the shooting pains in groin. I don't think it's anything to be worried about though x

[rosie c]

yes... have this too. doesnt last long but boy..! I think it feels like nerve pain. x

I had that sort of pain when I was suffering with fibroids.

ive been getting groin pain now for almost 7 months i get low back ache and then a pain in my groin and cant walk far at all but its a proper ache like toothache  havent been to my gp as iam sure he will give me painkillers and i dont want them ive just had 8 sessions with a chiropractor and she says i have no problems with my hips and that its down to my back it is easing a little if i dont walk far and she tells me i must allow it to heal and keep using heat and cold compresses daily if it doesnt go soon i will probably have to see the gp but i would like to know what it is not mask it with pain killers 

[nelliedee]

Hope you get it sorted. Mines not an ache its just a stabbing pain. I think i would see your gp and maybe get it diagnosed just to ease the worry. xx

See the doctor, these are the symptoms my DH had, and x rays showed it was coming from his hip......he eventually had a new hip and has never looked back.

sounds like a trip to gp then  think ive lost faith in them as i always come out with a perscription and i really dont get on with meds but i can see what he says x

[Elena]

Used to get it, nasty sharp sudden pain then gone.  I dont get it now so maybe it was a peri meno thing?

Interesting topic. I could barely walk today because of groin pain. Can't think of cause. Funnily enough tonight I ended up with period type pains, yet have had hysterectomy.  Fed up with aches  & pains!

[kerrieann]

been to docs this morning with this groin and back pain worse when walking and for the last couple of days the top of my arm shoulder is aching bad cant lift my arm even lifting the kettle hurts and trying to peg out washing well i gave up mind with this continuous rain not much chance of that  gone off subject sorry  anyhow the doc is sending me for x rays on pelvis and ultrasound on my arm says he pretty sure its arthritis  not happy about that at all iam only 56 mind i feel 70 when trying to walk for more than 15 mins or so he gave me tramacet for the pain tramadol and paracetamol apparantly heaven knows what side effects that will have not good with pills at all  well at least i should get a diagnosis now

The other thing to consider is polymyalgia rheumatica!

[kerrieann]

clkd  what are the signs to look for with polymyalgia rheumatica ?

[Taz2]

The signs seem to be quite specific and a blood test will show whether you have PMR. It usually comes on suddenly with pain especially in the shoulders and the thighs. It can be impossible to walk up stairs or get out of a chair. You also feel feverish and lose weight. Two friends have had this over the past three years and both have felt far too poorly to go into work when it first started. They both had to take steroids for a year and then reduce the dose for a further year. Info here http://www.arthritisresearchuk.org/arthritis-information/conditions/polymyalgia-rheumatica.aspx  One of the worst things for both of them was that they developed really hairy faces as a side effect of the steroids and also put on around three stone each. They are both ok now and are gradually losing the weight.
