I know stretching the Groin, Hamstring and Hips helps but it flares up once in a while to the point where I can not walk or skate. It feels like my hip flexor in the front hurts the most though. any ideas what I can do? I have no insurance so looking for stretching or blunt advice. I am out of shape but I sit at a computer all day and many nights when I get off I am too sore to walk to I sit more. I think that causes compression as mentioned above. Heat? Hot Tub? Ice? stretch or don't stretch? I hung upside down on one of those machines that flips you upside down and holds you by the ankles and felt it stretching but when I got off it hurt worse and I went to one knee. This sucks I hate self diagnosing but I think this is what I’ve got going on.

Decisions on treatment depends on many things, including your age, the cause of the episode, how long standing it is.. you probably need to see a good spinal physio to get an accurate diagnosis prior to treatment. Some exercise plans will make some types of back problems worse so its not wise to just give out exercises online. hope you get it sorted, David If you have problems with the Femoral nerve, you will have pains and sometimes sensation changes on the front of your lg. you can also get muscle weakness there.
