Not necessarily : Groin pain could be primarily from the spinal problems, but also may be a core muscle imbalance due to compensation for the pain caused by the disc disease. A proper evaluation, and MRI can help figure that out. Physical therapy may also be helpful in that situation. Hope this helps!

Common: Common to have 'centralization' of pain during disc healing. S1 would still go all the way down the leg typically.

? Another cause: Groin pain can be from back as well as hip. If doesn't improve may need to have additional evaluation.
