The first piece of advice I always have for chronic health problems is to consult a qualified medical professional. They have the training and the skills to ask you the right questions, which will either lead them to a diagnosis or allow a qualified narrowing down of possibilities. Their further investigation through recommended rest or action, and accompanied by medication will enable a final diagnosis and the correct medical intervention to solve the problem.

Having said that, I’m going to proceed with the assumption that you’re seeking some preliminary first-hand research. When does the pain occur? The injury could be stressed soft tissue that having sustained damage protests painfully when in use. Knowing when and where exactly the pain will identify which nerves, ligaments, tendons, muscles or joints are causing the problem.

The most minor cause could be a strained or stretched muscle. Rest, hot baths and pain relievers should alleviate the problem within a week. A deeper injury such as severely stressed hamstring muscles could require anything from rest and physiotherapy (e.g. Ultrasound, heat, exercises), all the way through to surgery if there is a tear that isn’t healing well. Alternatively, your problem could be Sciatica which is an irritation of the sciatic nerve. These nerve roots extend out of the spinal cord into the lower back and down through the buttocks and back of the leg to the ankle and foot. A frequent cause of sciatica is disc damage in the back pinching the sciatic nerve system. Once diagnosed, treatments range from taking anti-inflammatory drugs and using heating pads to physiotherapy. Again in a severe case, your doctor may suggest surgery. Like in all situations when you experience chronic pain without a clearly identified cause, visiting a doctor is imperative. You never know, the problem could turn out to be a minor one and your doctor will dispel your worries and your pain.

You could have torn a ligament, strained a muscle, injured a nerve ending, or have possibility of having a blood clot. You do need to go to the Dr and be checked.

I had a c-section 7 years ago and I have terrible groin pain, upper left thigh pain and it burns at my upper thigh area and lower left buttock. Could it be related to the c-section?
I felt that he made the incision way tooooo low.. Like I was ever going to wear a bikini again anyways... What tests would I do to see what is wrong?
Thanks for any input.

I am only a vet in training, but my advice is go straight to the ER and don't even think about going to see a normal doctor, this could be serious
