What Causes Severe Groin Pain While Suffering From Bursitis?

Hi. My 91-year-old mother has excruciating groin pain on one side so that she cannot walk. She went to an orthopedist two days ago. He injected it. He diagnosed brysitis. It got a little bit better. This morning she was in so much pain that she cannot walk. She iced it all day, without results.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If she has pain medication then one of these can be used to help reduce her discomfort , anti inflammatory pain medication would be best but this may be too strong on her stomach
Eg naproxen, ibuprofen, cataflam

She would need to be reviewed by her doctor.

I hope this helps
