Groin Pain
 

I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced groin pain with their PN. The pain is high on the left thigh not centrally. Like when you strain your groin from over stretching when exercising.
I have had a sharp pain in the left side for days now.

Hi Phil
You might want to try googling 'Pudendal Neuralgia' for an explanation and to see if it fits your symptoms.

Thanks for that, will do.

Yes, mine migrates everywhere. It stays in some areas for weeks. Feels kind of like an injury and then it seems to heal. I remember when this first started, I had some parts that stayed like this for months. Sometimes the shooting pains migrate all day though and I think it will stay in one place for a long time, but it's gone in 15 min. Right now I'm dealing with it especially badly in the right side of my neck and shoulder. Feel like it is being stabbed and twisted-10 days now....
Hopefully yours will let up soon. Hope you are using all the right precautions when working with the chemicals.

And I want to mention that your description is exactly what I experience in parts of my body for no reason. I could swear it feels like a sprain/strain injury, but it happens for no reason. The first time it happened to my soleus muscle and it lasted for 3 months. I think it is the nerves that innervate these muscles that are under attack and cause the muscle to go into a spasm, so it actually does cause a strain injury. That is my experience.

Mine is due to my CRPS2. But I wonder if I have pn as well. My mri was only on my upper spine....thus makes me wonder because the symptoms are similar. Thanks for the question. In asking you're not only helping yourself.... Even though I hope you find relief.

Hi Phil,

I had a rather severe burning off and on for a couple of years.
The burning pain was severe even when at rest.

I now have a sharp pain with movement of my hip (hip pain is in groin area), which is related to my autoimmune arthritis.

I don't know if you have co-occurring conditions or not. (I hope not.) If so, it can sometimes be difficult to sort out which condition is acting up.

This link may be helpful:

It explains some of the mechanical causes of groin/hip pain.

Pain in the groin can be from a hernia in males, and also enlarged lymph nodes.

I think you should see a doctor if the pain is frequent and/or constant.

Very comprehensive article, mrsD.
Thank you!

Hi, yes exactly the same. Fun and games. Not using any chemicals now. Being careful.

Yes it seems to be a couple of the same spots flaring up so far. Woke up last night a d two fingers were completely numb and after I moved around the feeling came back in a few minutes. My forearms also ached but then went away. I wonder if it was the position I was sleeping in.

Thank you MrsD, I returned to my doctor last week with this new pain. He examined my lymph nodes and also looked for a hernia he also rotated my leg to see if the hip was causing it.
I'm wondering it is the main nerve listed in your link that comes from the base of the spine that is causing this thanks to the PN. I'm also getting weird pain in my knee on the same leg. Its hard not to believe it is all nerve related due to the PN.
He bumped up my Lyrica to 225mg but the pain is still constant, worse when sitting. I don't know whether to go back to see about taking a higher dose of Lyrica or what. Seems to be something new developing quickly every week.
Hanging out for the PET scan.
Thanks again mrsD

Mine too, including groin.

Phil, have you tried an ice pack on your lower back?

20 minutes at a time, 2 or 3 times a day?

Sometime ice calms nerves that are over-firing.

Thankyou i will try that.

My SFN started in my left groin and left foot! I still have trouble with my groin. At first, before my diagnosis, my urogyn doc thought it was from pelvic floor dysfunction. So my therapist dry needled that area.....it actually helped, for a while. Now, it's tight there again and my SFN seems to be progressing. I am miserable.

I'm sorry to hear your not the best Kate. Thanks for your help i hope you improve and feel much better soon.

Yes. I get it on and off and it usually lasts for a few days. Not sure if this is part of SFN or not though. My doctor also examined me.

Thankyou dreamer
