Hi Nicky,
Alex Prince here, Osteopath at Moti.
Sorry not to respond earlier, but I wanted to let you know my thoughts.
I am always a little concerned about groin pain, there are many structures that can cause pain in this area.
If it has not cleared up yet, then you should probably have it looked at. You could book a 15 min free consult with myself or Jon at Moti.
Regards,
Alex Prince. Osteopath

hi

i didnt feel it happen it just came on after a race, i have had 3 weeks rest, done one light run and went on the bike for 30 mins and now today im in pain to walk and trying to get up the stair too.

n.b nothings really changed with my training, the only thing i can think of is i had a new p.b by 3 mins on a 5k. :o

sorry i took a long time to answer due to holiday...

Nicky,
Well done with PB,
This may be a lower limb stability problem, causing imbalance through the pelvis and hip area.
Im afraid however that without examination it would be difficult to accuaately diagnose the problem. If it is still troubling you then it is probably best to have it assessed,
