Does anybody with Fibro suffer with a painful, pulling sensation in their inner groin (where the skin attaches to the inner upper thigh)? Sometimes it pulls so hard it feels like something is going to snap. It hurts especially when I am rising out of bed.

Members confirmed experiencing the same painful groin and inner thigh pulling sensation described in the original question, with many noting it can feel severe or even crippling at times. Several members shared potential causes and remedies, including sciatic nerve issues related to spinal compression, magnesium and vitamin B6 supplements, enzymes like Serrapeptase for scar tissue, and practical solutions like using cornstarch to reduce skin friction. A recurring theme was the realization that this sharp, burning, or pulling pain is often part of fibromyalgia itself rather than a separate condition, with some members only recently connecting their symptoms to the diagnosis.

I got that once or twice like a pulling sensation but not in my groin but where my bowels are and it was a small pain like something was twitching. It went away I thought it was gas but it kind of bothered me. Maybe it was my sciatic nerve because it bothered me a couple of days later. I got it in bed when I woke up and I just got up and then later it went away.

Magnesium and Vitamin b6 might help this. I can't over emphasize the importance of these 2 supplements and calcium!!! Hope this helps you. Take care. Hug

Yes I have suffered with this on and off since last November! After X-rays, my doctor said it is just part of Fibro as there was no bursitis! I had looked it up also because I had never heard of leg pain in Fibro but realized after that it is definitely just another affect from Fibro! Lucky us!
