The pain in the groin could be from chrons which would also go with the weight loss.  Have you had diarreha?  Glad you are having the gastro tests, this should help them find what is wrong.

Hi .Coughting .. Had no Diarreha but have just had hemaroids clipped inside my anus, so that area is also sore at the minute, that was a week ago prior to that my stools were quite normal but thinnner than normal. I do feel weak and over the last 2 weeks my muscles ached , My partner says the reason Im losing weight is because I worry all the time but I think ther is more going on then just stress and worry ? Thanks ....

Dont want to alarm you. I lost a lot a weight last year and couldnt find a reason. No pain nowhere. Bloodwork etc, came back normal. Doctor ask me if I would consider a colonoscopy as she knew I never had or let it done before a one way direction I always told her. I did give in and they discovered a 3.5 cm hard as a rock mass in my colon. Still dont know why I never had any pain. I had it removed surgically as they couldnt do it with the colonoscopy. I am well now, gained back my weight. And for the record it is not cancer what a relieve.
