What causes a tight feeling in upper thigh, and groin area?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Unknown: A mass in the groin could be a hernia. Could be muscle strain. We would need more information to be helpful. Is one thigh bigger than the other? Does it hurt anywhere. How long has it been going on. If it gets worse or you start to have bad groin pain you should see a doctor immediately.
