Bizarre Pinching ?

Post by davyboy »

Hi Everyone,

I would post this in my personal thread but I thought it's best to post it in a general thread, get some input and then it can be migrated to my personal thread.

I experience a bizarre symptom occasionally. I suspect it is referred pain coming from my hip abductors and psoas being tight. Anyways... I experience this symptom when doing this yoga stretch:

I get a pinching sensation basically where an inguinal hernia would be on the right side of my groin. It's a very strange feeling and actually when I breathe deeper as doing that stretch it seems to pinch more. It comes and goes and really only hurts when in that position. I've had it on and off for about two years. It makes me think that I have a hernia still (a doctor told me I had one) that I need to get repaired, yet when I had an ultrasound months ago looking for a tear, one was not found. I have no typical bulge for an inguinal hernia etc.

Anyways, could anyone provide any insights? Is it possible that this is referred pain from tight hip abductors? I've also thought perhaps it is a sports hernia: http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/spor ... c-overview

Hope everyone is well.

I have pretty much this exact same issue. I have partially resolved it by really working on my thigh adductors, but otherwise haven't made too much headway.

Ya it's really weird! It doesn't bug me unless I go into that specific pose. Touching it doesn't hurt. My hips have been very tight lately so I suspect it's coming from that.

Alternatively this pose would provoke it as well, I can feel it pinch more and more as I breathe deeper.

For me, basically anything that puts my leg into significantly rotation causes the pinching pain.
