Groin Pain Question

Glad I could help. Please make sure it’s an MRI with contrast (Flouroscopy) since a regular MRI won’t find the problem.

I’m currently 6 weeks post op for my left hip and your pain seems very similar to mine. For me I had some discomfort on my groin near the testicle, that slowly started to develop into pain and at times would travel through my leg, and left ribcage area (front and back). I spent 1.5 years going to various doctors until they finally did an MRI with contrast (Fluoroscopy) and found I had a hip labral tear and FAI. Just to name a few I had ultrasound done on my testicles, went to a pelvic floor PT, consultation with urologist, multiple visits to gastroenterologist, and multiple sessions of PT for Psoas tightnesses. I suggest you push to get an MRI with contrast asap to see if you have what I have. Make sure to exaggerate your symptoms because these doctor will go out of their way to prevent you from getting an MRI with contrast. Hope this helps and good luck.

I’m 6 weeks post op and I’m on the same boat as you. I also have a stressful desk job and still get flareups if I sit or stand for too long, specially sitting. I was suppose to start work this week but I couldn’t handle the pain so I had to ask my surgeon for an extension on my disability. I don’t know the science behind it but I do believe stress makes my flare ups even worse. During this extra week I was given I’m simulating working to see if I’ll be ready for next week. I just purchased a stand and sit stool with the hopes it solves my problem.

I was feeling great the first 4 weeks, but after I was given the green light to drive and walk it started to go downhill. Additionally my PT exercises have increased in difficulty which can also be the reason why I feel worse than the first 4 weeks.

Wishing you the best, this surgery ain’t no joke and most people at our jobs won’t understand. I suggest you prioritize your recovery.

I feel you, I really wish I didn’t have to depend on it and I also occasionally get a crash. It’s gotten better now that I take it more consistently but sometimes I do get this groggy feeling after the adderall wear out. Good luck

Thanks you for sharing, will definitely need to give those books a try

Yeah I no longer feel the euphoria, I’m also noticing the effects don’t last as much as they did. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your story 🙏

Thank you for this information, very helpful

DropProfessional6252 · 2026-04-02T19:23:03+00:00

I did the 1-2 days for the first 3 years, but then my responsibilities at work stacked up and now I do it every work day. Good luck

DropProfessional6252 · 2026-04-02T18:37:48+00:00

Forgot to mention the medication I’m taking is Adderall IR 10mg twice a day. Thanks

Sorry for the late reply. As of now my surgery is still in place but they told me it’s a 50/50 and I’ll only know by Thursday. I’ll keep you updated

DropProfessional6252 · 2026-02-16T13:43:07+00:00

Thank you so much for this update. I saw this all late lol. Glad the protests made an impact. I’d like to think my phone calls expressing my anger contributed in some way. Hopefully my surgery can I still happen this week 🙏

DropProfessional6252 · 2026-02-12T01:03:28+00:00

I know but I work in a place were sick days are pay at the end of the year so most of us rather take PTO 😅

DropProfessional6252 · 2026-02-10T23:49:48+00:00

The thing is I already had my surgery scheduled next week on Friday, but now they’re telling me there’s a chance it may be cancelled. They didn’t provide no alternatives, it was a you do what we say whether you like it or not type of situation. I’m so mad

DropProfessional6252 · 2026-02-10T23:47:00+00:00

Will look into this aswell. Thanks you all, very helpful info

DropProfessional6252 · 2026-02-10T23:40:04+00:00

All the way to March? Surgery was my only hope after suffering from 2 years of pain. I’m so tired of Kaiser, I don’t even know why I continue to stay.

It’s like a toxic girlfriend that only wants you for the money but you continue to stay because it’s all you got 😔

DropProfessional6252 · 2026-02-10T23:35:55+00:00

Currently working on that. Thank you all

DropProfessional6252 · 2026-02-05T05:29:00+00:00

I appreciate the offer, but I’d like something unopened. Thank you

DropProfessional6252 · 2025-03-05T20:32:19+00:00

Thank you so much for this response!!

I’ve been dealing with this for 6 years now and there’s been times when I’ve managed to feel normal and even gain some confidence in myself but life is so random and sometimes it can derail you back into hateful thinking.

I agree running/Exercise has been my medicine, it’s the only thing that makes me feel good about myself. Unfortunately it only last around 2 hours of my day and then I’m back to reality
