pain in my groin
by juriah, Aug 06, 2008 09:06AM
i had been in pain for the past one and a half month..
i guess it started out when i was carrying a lot of heavy stuff recently..but this pain dosen't start off immediately...
on the top of that..i had been moving up and down the stairs..
still i did not feel the pain yet..
but 2 days after the vigorous activities..one afternoon..i felt this very bad nagging pain on my lower back stretching down to the thigh.
i was given pain killer and an antiimflammatory drug..
a neighbour adviced that i put an ice pack right where the pain is...i did so until i felt really numb ...
it has been close to two months now...
the pain now concentrates on my left groin and stretches down to my knee..
and what worries me most is that..after sitting down..upon standing up..i had this sensation all the way down to my left feet...a sensation similar to the time when there is not enough oxygen flowing to that area..
i am teacher..and i go to my class according to my schedule...since i love teaching so much..the pain is blocked while i am in school..i am 52 years old...
i am really worried and would love to know what should i do next..
should i see an orthopedic surgeon..or a neuro surgeon...or should i wait a little while longer until the pain subsided by itself...
thank you
