Re: Advice need with switching groin pain
I cannot say if the following is true for you, but often when pain switches from leg to leg, it is due to instability. There is sufficient movement that that it allows for a spinal nerve to compress; then with movement, the pressure moves off the nerve.
It doesn't necessarily happen in a short time-frame. In my case I would have pain in left leg for around 4 months...then it would switch to right leg for months. At first the PT thought it was all in my head and I couldn't keep straight where my pain was. But it turned out there was a spondylolisthesis that allowed the L4 to slide over the top of L5, sometimes trapping a nerve. In my case, it trapped a nerve when I was weight bearing. When I sat down, the pain would go away.
Nerve compression does not always show on MRI. I know mine did not.
I suspect you have some instability that is causing nerve compression.
Good luck getting this resolved!
