GROIN PAIN BLOG

Peripheral Neuropathy?
I have had pubic/groin pain on my left side for 9 months now. I have had a cat scan, x-rays, MRI and bone scan and the doctors all say they are normal, except they found a tumor in my left thigh that was not the cause of my pain and I had to have it removed. The pain is not gone, it is worse since surgery and to top it off I now have nerve damage to my right leg apparently from them rolling me onto my right side to perform the surgery.

I am extremely frustrated since no one can find the cause. I am at the point where I can no longer even go to the grocery store and be on my feet that long. I take pain pills and the latest diagnosis is that I have peripheral neuropathy, which I do not agree with.

How can I find out what is wrong with me?

A. I can sense your frustration...most of the time we find unresolved groin pain to be weakness or injury to the pubic symphysis. The adductor muscles and abdominal muscles attach to the pubis so contraction of these muscles can give pain when the pubis is injured. Injury to the pubic symphysis disc or ligaments doesn't show up on x-ray. I would recommend that you see a Prolotherapist.

There is no known cure for arthritis. Prolotherapy and nutritional supplements can help alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by treating an underlying cause that contributes to degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and other connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis from developing.
