pinched nerve in groin area symptoms
Like maybe a pinched nerve? Would I need surgery if it is a pinched nerve? A pinched nerve can indeed be quite painful. When a nerve becomes pinched where it leaves the spinal cord, it can cause pain in the distribution of the nerve itself, similar to what you describe. However, the location of the lower back and into the groin and hip is not as typical for a pinched nerve and instead suggests several other different possibilities. A process intrinsic to the hip itself, including arthritis or joint impingement, can refer pain to the groin and the lower back. In addition, kidney stones or other kidney issues can also start with pain in the lower back and then wrap around to the groin area. In men, testicular pain can radiate up to the groin, while in women ovarian pain can refer to the lower back and then to the groin.
