Members widely related to experiencing groin and inner thigh pain, with many describing it as a common fibromyalgia symptom that worsens after standing or walking too long and sometimes makes movement feel like muscles are catching or need to pop back into place. Several members shared practical relief strategies, including the Thomas stretch recommended by a physical therapist, foam rolling for tight abductor muscles, ensuring adequate magnesium and hydration for muscle recovery, wearing supportive shoes instead of slippers, and using distraction techniques like audiobooks or comedies to manage pain. A recurring theme was hope and patience, with one member describing how their groin and sitting pain gradually improved over three years through stress reduction, medication adjustments with medical guidance, gentle activity, and adopting a slower-paced lifestyle.

I used to feel pain in the groin area but it is gone as my fibromyalgia improves. I also had pain around the sit bone areas. It was a depressing situation because it made social life difficult - having a meal, seeing a movie and driving were all painful events. The condition gradually got better as the overall pain level slowly decreased (over 3 years at least). Now I can sit comfortably for a long flight. I still occasionally feel some faint pain in the sitting area when I am tired but it doesn't bother me anymore because I know it will get better after some rest.

Yes, I get pain right where the top of my legs meet my pelvis. My PT showed me the Thomas stretch, it does help me. You can find videos of it on YouTube. Hope you’re feeling better soon ❤️

Vic Chang yes the pain appreared a month ago, it's like my leg is catching on the muscle, very painful, sometimes getting up.. I think since I have been wearing slippers instead of my Rockport shoes indoors may be the cause,too.
