What Causes A Radiating Pain From The Groin To Leg And How Can It Be Relieved?
Question: pain that moves from groin to leg to knee and back to the groin.
Brief Answer:
The origins could lie in lower back.
Detailed Answer:
Hi!
I have gone carefully through your query.
Your pain could be due to muscle spasm. Hot compress should provide relief.
The vicious cycle of pain and spasm needs to be broken and I would insist you to take Paracetamol or Acetaminophen together twice or thrice daily for next 3 days.
This should ease the problem and make it go away. If it does not, lumbar spondylosis could be another cause to consider.
I would insist you to get an X-ray of Lumbosacral spine (AP and lateral) done and to see a physical therapist with the reports. Based on the findings he would be able to demonstrate to you proper exercises that should provide relief.
Hope I have answered your query.
