Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Lower back pain & pain in the groin may be due to many reasons.
For confirming hernia you need clinical examination by a surgeon.
Back pain may also be due to muscle spasm.
At present you should take rest.Take muscle relaxants and analgesics for short duration.
Proper treatment depend upon clinical examination and investigation reports.
Investigations include routine hemogram,RBS,RFT,LFT,urine RE/ME,ultrasound of abdomen,X-ray L/S Spine (AP/Lateral view).MRI L/S Spine can be done if needed.
Hope i have answered your query.
