What is the cause for frequent stabbing pain in the groin area with a history of uric acid kidney stones?
Patient: HelloToday, out of the blue, I was sitting at my desk and go a very sharp stabbing pain, near my left testicle.It is not in the testicle, actually up in my groin.  It felt liked I was being poked with a needle.  I got up and rubbed the area and walked around . . .  and the pain went away.  SInce then I have gotten the sharp pain about every couple of hours.  It comes with no warning.  The pain only last about 5 - 10 seconds, but hurts tremendously.  It seems that moving helps get rid of the pain, but don't know for sure. The pain makes me have to move and walk.I just saw a dentist yesterday because of a tooth ache.  He said I need a root canal and prescribe amoxicillin for the infection.  Could this be related to the new stabbing groin pains ?Also, I have had uric acid kidney stones. Doctor: Hi. From your history this looks to be a stone impacted or trying to pass through the ureter on the same side of the pain. No relation to amoxicillin. Get the urine test and sonography done, Visit a Doctor for clinical examination as to see there is no hernia or so.
