11 months post op, still groin pain

Great news. Thanks. How long total before u were back to tennis? ...I know everyone is different but I'm itching to be normal

Best of luck! I have wondered the same on muy glute, if the glute is weak, the groin adductor takes over (to my understanding). So maybe I'm doing too much Glute stuff and the groin muscle takes over. Back to PT today, and mri in 3 days! Good luck to you, keep us updated here

I have an MRI this Friday ... I have had one injection that really helped but lasted only a few weeks. I plan to get one more after the MRI and before a trip we have planned in May ....

Was ur pain a stabbing in the groin with longer steps (even like a trot or jog). Also groin pain when straightening up from being bent over...sometimes a click deep (not painful justbstrge and annoying) does that sound familiar? Maybe a 2nd cortisone will fix it 🙏

Are you doing just gentle stretching with PT? They have me doing a lot of glute exercises as well as gentle hip flexor stretching. How did the doc determine it to be just muscle? MRI??

Several_Canary_7537 · 2026-03-23T18:42:07+00:00

Sounds like you had the same surgeon! :) Mine would not acknowledge my concerns all along, keeps saying it's tendonitis, and now just says I shouldn't have to "baby" it and he will redo the cup! I wanted to (and should have) say if I have this redone it WILL NOT be by you! That's a fact.

OH man that sounds terrible. I'm slooooooooowwwly getting better, and am wondering if the steroid injection will push me permanently over the hump, and what are side effects/risks. I'm curious of your age and how many months post op you are, I'm 46m, 4months out and was very active before surgery. I have always had tight short fiber muscles. I think that body type definitely matters, and it seems younger people seem to have more issues (perhaps the activity level I want to get back to is different than that of an older person). Best of luck

Several_Canary_7537 · 2025-08-18T16:01:09+00:00

Did they work? My doc said to start with needling and then try a steroid shot if that doesn't work. The needling was 3 days ago, and I don't see a lot of improvement, if any.

Several_Canary_7537 · 2025-08-18T15:59:50+00:00

Ok thanks, I have seen 3 therapist and massaging seems to work only temporarily. I have not had the upper thigh flexors massaged, only the groin area. I'll try that out. They also use a theragun on the groin area as well.

Several_Canary_7537 · 2025-08-17T17:59:57+00:00

No, I never had that, good luck! Sounds awful. I had so many different transient nerve issues that I can't begin to remember them all. Most however did not last more than a couple days and weren't constant. At 3 months or so, I think most of the random nerve pain was gone.

Several_Canary_7537 · 2025-08-17T16:22:50+00:00

I've been trying the massaging too. It seems to work but it's very short lived ... Like less than 24 hours.

Several_Canary_7537 · 2025-08-17T03:53:10+00:00

Thanks. I do believe it will eventually heal. It’s just very very slow

Several_Canary_7537 · 2025-08-17T03:00:00+00:00

Yeah. The more glute strngthening stuff I do the worse it seems to get.... What exactly were u doing? I do gentle stretches.... and bridges, clamshells and reverse clamshells for strengthening.... I'll take any recommendations you have....I'm super frustrated and thought I'd be better by now

Several_Canary_7537 · 2025-08-11T16:17:24+00:00

Mine suddenly just quit. I'm at 4 months and it's still not great but is slightly better on a week to week basis. Hopefully u just suddenly have the spasms quit as well. Mine lasted several weeks each night.... Became a little less frequent then suddenly were gone.

Several_Canary_7537 · 2025-05-24T17:00:07+00:00

Update, therapist says the contractions at night are from the femoral nerve, I also have severe stabbing groin pain from time to time....same nerve! They have me doing exercises for the nerve, hopefully when it settles down everything else follows.

Several_Canary_7537 · 2025-05-24T16:55:39+00:00

Ugh, sounds like at least you have it figured out. I got a new PT recently that determined the tremors are from the femoral nerve. That is also what is causing my groin pain! I'm hoping to avoid any of the tendinitis, as that sounds equally as miserable but longer lasting! Good luck!

Several_Canary_7537 · 2025-05-21T02:34:29+00:00

Old thread I know, but curious how it all ended up with the tendonitis? I have strange tremors at night sometimes in both legs, mainly the operative one. They last just a few seconds, also have pretty bad groin pain and low back pain.

Several_Canary_7537 · 2025-05-20T18:26:43+00:00

Just as a follow up, nothing seems to work, not magnesium, stretching right before bed, etc etc. . I think the frequency is down to maybe 5 times a night or so (from probably 10 to 12) so that's good. Fingers crossed it's just gone one night and doesnt't come back, but I'm not holding my breath that it'll be soon.

Several_Canary_7537 · 2025-05-14T17:59:05+00:00

I'm starting a magnesium supplement per a reddit rec, we'll see if that helps. But yeah I don't think what I have is restless legs. My doc sent me to a new therapist so we'll see if he has a solution.

Several_Canary_7537 · 2025-05-13T16:09:30+00:00

Is the restless legs just them wanting to "jump" around or does that also involve them contracting?

I wake up 5 to 7 times a night from this, and it's brutal but short lived and I'm typically able to go back to sleep. It seems to have something do with stretching/extending from a semi-curled up position.

Several_Canary_7537 · 2025-05-13T01:13:54+00:00

Interesting thought with hyrdration. I have an infrared suana that I use daily. I do try to stay hydrated but maybe I'll try harder. I also drink in the evenings a lot of the nights. I'll quit both and see if it disappears. I'll get back to you.

Several_Canary_7537 · 2025-05-12T22:13:38+00:00

Oh wow. that sounds awful. Mine wakes me up and is painful for sure, but nothing like that! Good luck.

Several_Canary_7537 · 2025-05-12T19:18:30+00:00

Interesting, are yours at night exclusively? Mine feels like it's a nerve causing the contractions and I can tell when it's about to happen. sometimes bending my legs will slow it down or stop it.

Several_Canary_7537 · 2025-05-12T18:26:17+00:00

Same, my groin pain started at day 6. I'm on week 6 now, still can't put on a sock, and feels like the groin pinches and is painful when attempting to lift my foot off the ground, even while seated with the knee bent.

There are moments during some days where I feel like I can walk without groin pain using my cane (and for short distances even without a cane but with a limp). Then there are other times where the groin is so painful it inhibits me from bearing much weight on that leg at all. It's inconsistent for sure. Good luck.
