Members confirmed experiencing pelvic and groin pain similar to what the original poster described as 'crotch cramps,' with many attributing it to fibromyalgia flare-ups, muscle inflammation, or related conditions like interstitial cystitis and pelvic organ prolapse. Several members shared that the pain appears in areas including the bladder, bikini line, groin, and where the leg meets the torso, often worsening with overactivity or certain clothing styles that irritate sensitive areas. A recurring theme was the importance of seeing both a primary care doctor and an OB-GYN to rule out other causes like hernias or bursitis, while recognizing that these uncomfortable symptoms are likely another frustrating manifestation of fibromyalgia.

It could be where the muscles finish in your groin area, I sometimes get groin pain but its muscle, I found I had to change the style of underwear as some really cut into my skin, this was inflammatory muscle pain.

I get pain right on the sides of my vagina more like the ground bikini line area. I think it's just a fibro flare up! Have tog been to the obgyn?

I don't guess I get cramps in the actual crotch, but I get them in my bladder. So the area right above the pubic bone will cramp up. It's a part of interstitial cystitis, which is common with fibro. Also, along the same lines, my cervix "protrudes" sometimes. It swells up so that I can feel it when I wipe off (peeking out of my vagina). It's crampy when swollen, a little worse than menstrual cramps. This is b/c my bladder and uterus have dropped. Ideally I will have a hysterectomy and a bladder tack, but not yet. I'm not sure any of this is what you're talking about, but that's all I got... Hugs.

If you are talking right where the leg meets your torso, yes I get pains there a lot!! I had never had it until last November and it came with my paper thigh pain. It hurts like hell though! My doctor thought I may have bursitis in my hips but after X-rays, we realized it wasn't and it's just another part of Fibro! It's a wonderful illness!
