Anyone have this? Last night and this morning I had a SHARP pain my left-side groin that radiated down my inner left thigh. It subsided after a few seconds, but it was really painful. I have in the past, had sharp pains in my (TMI) rectal area that is usually gas and goes away after I pass it or have a bowel movement. This is scary because my thigh is now involved and I know there are some pretty big veins in there. The pain does not go all the way down my leg, just about half my inner thigh.

I'm having several bowel movements a day that range from diarrhea to normal, I drink plenty of water, etc. I had a lymph massage on Saturday and she massaged my intestines around and got stuff moving. I've also had hip and lower back pain on and off forever. I've had a colonoscopy 4 months ago and aside from a few small polyps (they removed), everything looked normal.

This is a scary one.

I have a lot of issues with my intestines - they have been badly affected by these infections. I get this fairly regularly, but I have to admit that I have never noticed the pain going down into my thigh - but it's been going on for so long for me, that it could be and I'm not paying any attention to it.

Because you had a colonoscopy not long ago, and things seemed fine then, you can likely assume things are fine now - for those things.

As you can see in this interactive body map here: www.healthline.com/human-body-maps this would be the lower large intestine, which would have been very visible during the colonoscopy.

If it keeps happening, I would encourage you to call your LLMD and have a talk about it, but if it only happens a few times, then it is likely safe to assume that it's your intestines reacting to the treatments.

KristenBee - I get sharp pains in my left groin also, for maybe about 10 seconds, but mine do not radiate down my thigh. Have no idea what it is, just that I have the same thing. Never on the right side.

Ugh. All these new, horrible pains and problems. It's too much. I think I could handle the illness and pain without the paranoia. Honestly, I think that's the worst part.

Thanks for helping calm me down. I get so worked up.

I think it may be lymph nodes. I'm not a doctor at all. But when mine hurt it was my lymph nodes.

Kristen, it can be quite scary!! That's why we are happy you have posted about it! It really helps to know that you are not the only one with these symptoms!

PeteZa - that's what I was thinking too, but wasn't sure and it didn't happen enough for me to tell a dr, not that it would have done any good. I've had pains in my abdomen since the start of this and have told the dr, and still have no idea what it is, but I assumed Lymph also. There's 3 spots that run down the right side of my belly about 1" - 1 1/2" out from center, top near rib, mid way, and then by my belly button.

There are lots of nerves in the groin and pelvic region. Many of them run down the leg too. I get nerve pain that starts about the ovary zone and aches down my thighs. Mine is probably permanent nerve damage due to endometriosis caused by babesia.

Oh my gosh babesia can cause endometriosis? I did not know that.

Ya know, I recall several years ago a hot seering painful shooting sensation in my groin. I remember massaging helped somewhat, but it seemed like it would last for at least 5 minutes. I remember 3 incidents in apx 6 months. I chalked it up to some weird muscle cramp. It's not reoccurred in probably 10 years but that kind of puts a time frame on a possible Chronic infection....Once again speculation..

😐

I had lyme muscle pains. I felt like I had been punched in the arm. It would last awhile and go away and sure enough a few days later it was back.

I just chalked it all up to being a lyme symptom.
