What Causes Sharp Pain From The Groin Down To The Leg?

Hi I have a sharp pain that starts in my left leg in the groin which becomes more severe and radiates down my leg . Is this some sort of hip injury? Is it a nerve irritation or muscle. How is this diagnosed clearly and what is the normal treatment and recovery time. Thank you so much Cathy Brown
