What are the symptoms of psoas muscle problems?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Groin pain: The psoas muscle, combined with the iliacus muscle- together known as the iliopsoas, is the main muscle responsible for flexion of the hip. Irritation of the iliopsoas can result in groin pain and occasionally a painful popping around the hip.

Back pain: Psoas muscle can compress your l5-s1 disk with 500 newtons of pressure when it's in a spasm. Psoas will pull femur against the ilium and ilium against the sacrum to cause sacroiliac joint dysfunction and facet (spinal joint) related pain in the spine.
