Question 7

how can i tell whether i have osteitis pubis or a pulled groin?

Accepted Answer

Osteitis pubis: Osteitis pubis is a central ache directly over the junction of the pubic bones. It can be very difficult to distinguish this from a groin pull as the groin muscles attach on the pubic bone.   Stress fractures can also mimic osteitis pubis.  These are seen more commonly in runners.  Diagnostic injection into the region may help.  Mri is also very sensitive in helping determine the source of pain.

Question 10

is there a good joint supplement for osteitis pubis?

Accepted Answer

Osteitis pubis: Inflammation of the pubic symphysis or osteitis pubis may or may not respond to dietary supplements. To my knowledge there is no evidence that dietary supplements change the symptoms of this condition. However dietary supplements such as those used for osteoarthritis,  may provide relief. Some patients report released with supplements such as chondroitin and glucosamine.
