A member asked:

Extreme groin pain when workout and lower back pain if i lay down. urologist said completely fine. tried cortisone shot to groin. started 2 yrs ago?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a surgeon: Have an examination with a general surgeon to see if you could have an inguinal (groin) hernia. Lower back pain could something else including muscle or nerve condition, and could be evaluated by a primary care physician ; may need x-ray studies too.
