What Causes Pain In Groin And Buttocks?

Hi, I am a female age 69. I have had a pain in my groin and right buttock for many years. Pain doctors say they cannot help. I find it impossible to lie on my back, however lately the pain is really bad in the groin area and is keeping me awake as I am so uncomfortable. I have to get up in the night about four times. I am going to my GP tomorrow, but everything is so slow! Thank you,

Get the x ray done as it will confirm the diagnosis.Till then u can take symptomatic treatment.
If the osteoarthritis is very advanced. Surgery is going to help otherwise medical management is sufficient
