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,

Hi
Your problem suggest that you are suffering from osteoarthritis of right hip which is usually age related.
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
Wishing u a speedy recovery
