What causes intermittent pain in the groin area?
Patient: I am having intermittent pain from the top of my groin down to my knee. I will be walking and all of a sudden it begins to burn and I have pain and it gets very weak from the top of my thigh to my knee and I have to make it to somewhere to sit for a minute or 2 and then it usually goes away and I can walk ok although it does feel weak for a little while. Doctor: Hello,  As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.  If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.   Regards,  Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
