What Causes Pain In Groin Area And Tightness In Lower Back?

I m having pain in my groin when bearing weight and sensation of tightness in my lower back. Also, some hip discomfort. I first noticed mild hip discomfort 6 months ago while being treated for a facial skin infection of Serratia. I mwondering if these two things are related in any way? I havean appointment with a PMR Musculoskeletal physician, but I wonder if I should see an Orthopedic Physician? Thank You

Hi,
I understand your query.
Your symptoms point to problem with lumber spinal discs.with the inflammation/ dislocation of these , there is kinking of the spinal nerves -result in these multiple symptoms.
I would advise you to consult a orthopedic doctor for X ray P/A , lateral view of lumber spine or CT scan/MRI of lumber spine to get exact diagnosis.
Treatment consists of NSAID pain killers as per need & physiotherapy .
Non responding patients may need spinsl surgery to remove the nerve pressure.
Thanks.
