Dr. Alvin Lin answered

Unlikely, unless ...: Unless running shorts' lining rubbing in groin area leading to ingrown hairs which may be mistaken for swollen glands. Consider changing shorts. If no better or actually getting worse, go see your Family Doc for evaluation.

I started running 4 months ago. Just recently I started having pain in my groin/thigh (also outer thigh close to my pelvis) in both legs. This pain won't allow me to run anymore. When I try, I "limp run". I have a 5k race in 2w so I'm devastated. :(?
