groin pain?

[Shannon Nelson]

What term covers the area of the fold between thigh and belly? I thought
this was "groin", and that it would be part of the abdomen, but I don't find
any entries for groin at all.

Pt describes an occasional sharp, shooting pain right at the fold, and I
can't figure out what it might be. There's nothing there except lymph
nodes, and none seem enlarged; she did ask a doctor about it, and he had no
ideas either. (This is not the main focus of the case, but...)
Thanks,
Shannon

One wonders about possible inguinal hernia which might threaten after any
increased intrabdominal pressure ie lifting or straining. Jean

[Patti Mount]

also look at muscle, ligaments & tendon attachments via the femur into the hip... as regards Jean's reply below this would follow the same "herniated train of thought"...

Thanks, Jean,
I *think* this is outside the area where a hernia would occur? It's not
*in* the abdomen, but sort of next to it. Or is that where a hernia would
happen??

The pains don't *seem* to be connected with any of this, tho my knowledge of
physiology is not enough to be sure... But she says that when they come, it
is very sharp, very sudden and very brief, and seems unconnected with
activity in any way -- equally likely to happen when she is lying completely
still, or sitting, or etc.
Any more ideas???
Thanks!

Yes Patty,

Good thought Also the fascia can become "tightened" and can bind a nerve.
There is a "branch" of CST called myofascial release (sometimes called
visceral release)
which is taught by many, including author/teachers Michael Shea,
Jean-Pierre Barral, John Upledger.
...and a Taoist hands-on energywork called chi nei tsang
http://www.chineitsang.com/

I have studied this some, and have used in practice... finding it Very
Interesting that the homeopathic principle of "likes cure like" can be
directly/physically applied in gentle and often curative (as opposed to
usual palliation via massage) manner...

Study of this type of material can enhance your general knowledge of the
body; practice of techniques will sharpen your perceptions, and may
sometimes give immediate relief without danger of homeopathic suppression
(very possible when hasty Rx is made on too-narrow of a focus, such as when
a superficial symptom which is actually related to chronic disease is
treated in isolation.)

Shannon- here are anatomical images of the inguinal region, which is
probably very near but above the area you're referring to (?)

there is also muscles and myofasia. having suffered much pain in that area, i can attest that disorder occurs. it could also be rheumatic or arthritic in the joint. and it could also be referred pain.

[Dr.Sahni BS]

The definition of groin is "each of two areas where the abdomen joins the thighs".

Pain in this areas may be due renal calculus, if right sides may be appendex, in females due to ovarian cysts. one must clinical investigate through Ultrasonography before selecting a remedy merely on the type and loacation of pain.

Dr. Sahni,
Appendix and ovarian cysts have already been ruled out (they'd been
investigated on other indications). Renal calculus hasn't been mentioned as
a psosibility, so I'll look into that.
Many thanks!
