<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I m having pain in my groin when bearing weight and sensation of tightness in my lower back. Also, some hip discomfort. I first noticed mild hip discomfort 6 months ago while being treated for a facial skin infection of Serratia. I mwondering if these two things are related in any way? I havean appointment with a PMR Musculoskeletal physician, but I wonder if I should see an Orthopedic Physician? Thank You  <response>: Hi, I understand your query. Your symptoms point to problem with lumber spinal discs. With the inflammation dislocation of these, there is kinking of the spinal nerves -result in these multiple symptoms. I would advise you to consult an orthopedic doctor for X-ray PA, lateral view of lumber spine or CT scanMRI of lumber spine to get exact diagnosis. Treatment consists of NSAID painkillers as per need physiotherapy. Non responding patients may need spinal surgery to remove the nerve pressure. Thanks.
