Nice overview. I'd be interested in hearing more about how to self-treat snapping hip syndrome. Hope to see it soon!

Awesome info. I second the previous comment! I think the snapping hip is what's happening to me. It feels like maybe a tendon rubbing/snapping on something. Looking forward to tips on this.

Great video/ what’s the real difference between between muscle pull in groin area v inguinal hernia in that area? Can the pain symptoms be the same?

How to know if my low back and pelvic pain, and also hip pain are all related? I have dull lower back and pelvic pain. Nothing seems to be wrong with any of my lady parts according to my gynecologist. Had a pelvic ultrasound both regular and transvaginal, had an abdominal ultrasound, urine test, and vaginal swabs which were all normal. Doing PT for my lower back after I bent over a few months ago and heard a pop in my low back followed by excruciating pain and inability to move or walk. Spent 3 days in hospital heavily medicated for pain but it barely took the edge off. All they recommended was PT but never found a cause. Ever since my low back hasn’t been the same. But now my pelvis hurts, my left hip, and even left lower leg and ankle. It’s not a sharp pain, it’s dull and very uncomfortable almost feels like labor pains, and I’m also feel very tight muscles in low back and groin/hip and ankle areas. I feel like such a mess 😢 And that’s aside from the chronic upper back and neck pain.

Any idea what can cause/ how to treat an adductor longus spasm? I have a patient who has had an idiopathic spasm for about two months- limited ER and ABD. Her longus is hypertoned and the tendon is taut. I've tried hot stone therapy, GTO release, deep tissue massage, PROM stretching, and PNF and it's not resolving. She'll be a "little" better at the end of the treatment but it's back to the same dysfunction the next day. She had no injury or overuse.

Thank you for the overview of groin pain issues. A question I have that is perhaps indirectly related to groin pain from muscles is whether or not muscular issues causing groin pain can also transfer pain to the genital area, as well as just presenting as muscular issues ? Books like 'A Headache in the Pelvis' and 'The Myofascial Trigger Point Work Book' would certainly suggest so, in terms of trigger points in the abdominal muscles, but would you tend to agree? If so, which muscles are likely to be the culprits. Would, for example, the pain you mention in the pubis synthesis area be capable of radiating pain to the genital area? Or could muscular imbalances or the structures of the pelvis area create neurological entrapments even that might present themselves as genital pain. I ask as I've suffered pain for years now that no medical examinations like ultrasounds seem to get to the bottom of, and the doctors conclude it's likely muscular fatigue pressuring the structures in the area, even though I've always kept fit and exercised my core? Any speculations you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Single leg circles in Pilates on one side make my hip pop. Hearing it is freaky and it feels a little weird when it happens. It's not painful though. I modify my range of motion to avoid it, that's not always successful. I just don't want to hurt myself by ignoring it.
