General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The symptoms you are mentioning of having pain in the groin and radiating to knee of left leg could be early symptoms of inguinal hernia or could be caused due to presence of ureteric calculi.
It would be better to get yourself check-up at the earliest by consulting Surgeon. Upon clinical examination and investigations like ultrasound scan, the diagnosis could be confirmed.
Accordingly, management could be planned and executed.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
