Sciatica Groin Pain

Sciatica groin pain is a rare, but very disturbing symptomatic expression which can plague suffering patients without relief. Groin pain can be muscular, neurological or linked to the genitals directly, making for a particularly troubling concern. Being that the symptoms of groin pain can be emotionally sensitive, many patients are shy to even seek out treatment and some suffer in silence for years.

The symptoms of groin pain and sciatica can mimic any other back and leg pain condition, with the addition of pain in the muscles or sexual organs of the groin.

Patients who can not find lasting sciatica relief from a variety of seemingly ideal treatment options may want to reconsider the validity of their diagnosis and seek out a second opinion.

Many, many cases of groin pain, either by themselves, or in combination with back pain, are the result of repressed emotional issues. These conditions WILL NOT respond to medical care and any relief found is likely to be based on the placebo effect and will be short lived. Psycho-emotional issues causing groin pain will often involve an unhappy relationship, a history of physical or sexual abuse or a feeling of being unfulfilled in life. Structural issues in the spine can also cause pain in the groin, although these cases are rare. The spinal nerve roots which serve the groin are not those typically implicated in most back pain diagnoses, although they can be in certain instances. Ischemia is a far more logical source of nerve root symptoms, as opposed to the epidemic of misdiagnosed pinched nerve conditions I see regularly…
