Weird pain in hip/leg??

**Lady-bug** · October 10th, 2008, 12:19 PM

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has had this problem. I have a really bad pain (that's constant) in my groin i suppose...its a bit hard to explain, like on the inside of the top of of my leg. Does that make sense?? Its mainly on the right side. Is this normal? Could it just be pressure from bubs?

ANY suggestions would be great!!

I'd be inclined to get that checked - I had groin pain - and dismissed it - and then when DD was born I couldn't walk because my pelvis had not only separated, but rotated - and made it VERY painful... especially when trying to recover from a c-section AND an infection in my uterus at the same time...

I have just made an appointment for tomorrow! Hopefully they can give me an answer.

You could try a physio too. Another possibility is it could be tightness in your "ileotibial band", a band of muscle running over your hip and just past your knee. I have pain from this but it tended to be felt on the outer side of my hip rather than in toward the groin.
