Muscle joint or nerv: This groin pain could be from your hip, from a pinched nerve in your back or in your groin, a pulled muscle or a number of other things. If it is debilitating then it is worth getting a medical evaluation.

Groin Pain: A hernia occurs when the tough connective tissue that completely covers our bodies (under the fatty layer) develops a weakness or true hole and the stuff inside bulges out. If you are having pain, it means that the area had some injury. If there is a bulging and it does not reduce easily, then you need to see your doctor. Otherwise, Motrin or advil (ibuprofen) should help reduce the pain.
