What Causes Severe Groin Pain On The Left Side?

I have had L4-5 fusion, and have been told that I have lots of arthritis and stenosis in my spine in general. About a week ago I started having pain in the left groin area (btw, 65 yo female) that gets worse as the day progresses. I have been trying to stretch (both sides) my glute muscles as well as quads. No help with that. I don t think I strained anything. Could this be referred from the spine?
