Right groin pain and lower abdomen discomfort.

Fennel I had groin pain as the first symptom of hip wear and tear. My doctor identified it at once and xray confirmed. I had a hip replacement a few months later.

Gosh, that was quick. I had an X-ray and then had to wait a few months to see a physio who gave me exercises to strengthen the muscles around that hip last year. I've been faithfully doing those exercises for a year, had a follow-up with the physio on the phone in July, and she just suggested I carry on.

To be fair, the exercises have helped. Still have some groin stiffness but much less than before, and I shall keep on.

I was given a sheet of paper with some drawings of stick figures which wasn't all that helpful, but I had a look on YouTube to see exactly how to do these exercises. I definitely wouldn't want surgery at the moment as my hip would have to be much worse before I would contemplate it.

You're right GrannyLaine - I missed that.

Fennel OP is scheduled for a steroid injection next week, not sure why making a fuss is necessary?

That was in the good old days when you could get a 'non-urgent' operation.
Try to make a fuss and get tests and a more definite diagnosis.

I suffered right sided groin pain and a tender abdomen when I was diagnosed with appendicitis which actually turned out to be a burst ovarian cyst.

I would agree with Luckygirl and Sparklefizz. I too have OA in my right hip and groin pain is a definite thing with it. But I think your GP would want to rule out other causes of low abdominal pain.

I get pain and stiffness in my groin from osteoarthritis in the hip on that side. No abdominal pain though.

I certainly had - and still have - groin pain associated with my arthritic hip, and it persisted even after surgery. So it can be hip related.

But I think you should talk to your GP about it as you also have abdominal pain.
