Hello, a couple days ago I suffered a blunt trauma injury to the groin area while mountain biking. Ever since, I have had a sharp/burning pain in my groin area whenever I sit up from a lying position, as if a hot wire is being pressed into my skin. I do not suspect the injured structure to be the groin tendon itself, as I have no pain when walking, jumping, etc. The pain is only present when I sit up or raise my legs from a lying position. What might the source of this pain be? Will it heal on its own, or will medical intervention be necessary? Thanks.
Hi, Thanks for your query. After injury to the groin area while mountain biking, appearance of sharp pain, swelling, tenderness, etc. are all indicative of hematoma formation either due to a soft tissue injury or due to a hairline fracture. For diagnosis, it is important to get an x-ray and an MRI scan of the area done. X-rays are very sensitive for picking up any fracture and MRI is one of the best tests for ruling out and identifying soft tissue injuries in the area of fall. I recommend you to consult an Orthopedic for proper examination and required investigations. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
