Lightbulb oh. the groin....

Lovely.

I had a groin injury 3 yrs ago from a fall. The most painful thing ever! I don't have burning, but when it was fresh, I couldn't move that leg at all...or do anything like walk, or anything more than walking.

Compression in the arm? From your shirt/tie I would think.
Although the tieless look is in right now.

I don't know what your attire is on Wall Street IT...my son works for a small software company and it is T-shirts and jeans.

When I had my son (27yrs ago) I had IVs in my arms with drug Aldomet...this caused terrible vein pain and inflammation.
It was awful...that is why I thought of injected dyes.

My contrast MRI had the neurologist freaked since he saw what he thought was another clot in my groin. Turns out that that was a vestige of my first, but they did not figure that out until I did a
CAT. The MRI...I just hate that freaking tube!! I am a BIG guy...so think about John Holmes dating Olga Korbut ( I like the retro stuff, what can I say), and you get the idea. I can do open MRI, but everyone tells me it is not as accurate.
Did you get that contrast injected in the arm that is bothering you now?

There is a warning out for one dye that is used in MRIs...

The signs and symptoms of NSF include:

* Skin: Burning, itching, red or dark patches, swelling, hardening, or tightening
* Eyes: Yellow raised spots on the whites of the eyes
* Joints/Muscles: Joint pain or stiffness; limited range of motion in arms, hands, legs or feet; pain in the hips or ribs; muscle weakness
The fact that you are in pain only when sitting is diagnostic of something. Compression on something.

Since you have funds, I'd get tested for homocysteine levels, and C-reactive protein. The 3 vits in Metanx will help with homocysteine, which inflames blood vessels when it is elevated. The C-reactive protein shows inflammation which if you have in your blood vessels, may show that way.
