What causes groin pain radiating to back and episodes of stuttering?
Patient: I had a car accident feb. 2 this year and initially had head fuzzyness, discomfort in my neck and pain at base of my skull. I also slammed my hand on steering wheel. The front of my car t-boned a car that failed to stop at a stop sign. My car is damaged considerably. I did not hit my head or lose consciousness. CT and hand xray in ER were negative. I was sent home with neck collar and hand brace. Two days later I had groin discomfort on the right which radiated to my right hip and lower back. Two days after that I noticed word finding difficulties at times and frequent episodes of stuttering. I saw my doctor yesterday who is having me stay off work for a week and I am to follow up with him on 2/14 to see if I am ready to return to work. Should I be waiting this long? Doctor: Hi,  Based on the description, the problem could be minor such as concussion and mild spine injury. However, I would not wait long and get an MRI of brain and spine done to look for any injury. This is better than waiting, as early detection of the problem and prompt treatment could avoid long term neurological dysfunction.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
