Does anyone else experience pain in the groin area? The joint between your hip and pelvic bone. I do have arthritis but I don't think this pain has anything to do with arthritis.

Members connected over the shared experience of intense groin and hip pain, with many describing it as severe enough to cause tears, leg buckling, difficulty walking, and a sensation of the hip joint locking up or the leg dragging behind them. Several members shared potential causes they discovered through testing, including sacroiliac joint arthritis requiring implants, scar tissue from hysterectomy, hip flexor issues, and bursitis, though many noted that despite extensive imaging and medical workups, doctors often found nothing and attributed the pain to fibromyalgia itself. A recurring theme was the frustration of unpredictable flare-ups that make planning travel or daily activities nearly impossible, paired with cautious hope that stretching hip flexors, using crutches during flares, taking ibuprofen, or getting epidurals might provide some relief.

I have been experiencing this for last month or so but I can't say it has affected my legs but it's a deep throbbing ache, feels like the glands should be swollen, I was at a hospital appointment yesterday ( women's problems) and they say it's another fibro symptom probably related to the walking I'm doing to trying to keep mentally healthy. Can't believe yet another symptom to endure, pain can make me feel sick at it's worse . Sending all hopeful smiles xx

Nyrshea, yes that what it is for my pain as well, especially when I walk for a long time or just stand. I hate it with sharp pains down my buttock and legs. I've tried the flexor stretch and it hurts like hell. To hell with that phrase "no pain no gain bs" it hurts. Good luck!

Strange as this may sound, I am 'pleasantly surprised' to hear that others are experiencing this same problem! I wonder if there is anything we can do for it? My doctors have not found any problem, therefore this just goes into the big trash can of fibromyalgia. Not knowing is worse than knowing--so I'm glad to know I'm not alone! May God bless us all as we face and meet these challenges a day at a time! Hugs!
