Pain in hip/groin/stomach.
Please can anyone help me.
Everytime I play football I get a pain from my groin to the top of my right hip.
It is fine to start with but develops as I run, I can kick the ball ok without pain but running & twisting make it hurt.
Stopping and trying to start against is horrendous and the following day(s) it is really painful. It almost feels like I am dragging the leg when running.
It has gradually got worse, originally it wore off after a couple of days but now takes nearly a complete week and no I have started taken anti-infammotaries to aid its progress but does not seem to do any good.
Although I know where I can feel the pain I cannot locate it with my hands. It is not a groin strain as I have had that in the past but the pain seems to be higher up towards the hip.
I have rested in the past hoping it would clear up, if anything it has got worse by not playing regularly and just seems to be getting worse.
It is now getting to a point where it is making me depressed.
Has anyone heard of suffered with anything simillar?

Sounds like Sportsman’s groin – sometimes called Gilmore’s Groin: It can be a defect in the conduit ligament, or where the inguinal ligament attaches to the pubic bone. A lot of footballers/atheletes get this! Treatment is problematic. Surgically a mesh may assist in facilitating repair around the defect – very similar to an inguinal hernia. It works for some. Didn’t for me. It seems to be a question of repairing the defect/tear…opinions among consultants seem divided.

Could be to do with your psoas muscle I have abdomen/ colon problems and recentlky started to have increadibly stronng pains, in the end it turned out not to be from within the colon but a strain of the psoas muscle. A good physion can locate it and free it off by massage / palpitation
